RE: Company ID's

Chuck,

How are you planning on making them (physically)? Printed on paper and
laminated, or printed on a thick ID card w/a special printer? If you're
using these for access cards too then you're probably going the second
route.

Regardless, why not make a fun and useful project out of it. Instead of
downloading the name/number/location info to a PC, upload the images to
the 400. Then simply have a web page that formatted the information and
JPG image on a web page that could be printed to the appropriate device.
Not only would you have some fun, but you'd create a useful application
where security could lookup an employee and see a picture of them to
confirm identity.

As for content, I'm not sure there is an "official" answer to the second
form of ID issue, but most of the one's I've seen have picture, Name, ID
number, signature and corporate logo. You may want to add some sort of
"property of" disclaimer and "if found return to ..." line.

Subject: Company ID's

Hi Folks,

 

We are in the process of creating company Photo ID cards. I was
wondering if
anyone else is doing this ?  My plan is to automate this as much as
possible. We will be downloading the Employee Name, Employee Number and
Work
Location from the iSeries into Adobe PageMaker and then the rest would
be
done in there (grab a picture and pull the information together).

 

 I was wondering what information folks were using on them, back and
front.
I know it can be a touchy issue with too much personal information, etc.
but
we also want these to double as a "second form of picture ID" and I
wasn't
sure what all made that valid.

 

Thanks !

 

Chuck
