What cameras are compatible with Jolly Softwares?

Any current webcam from a company such as Microsoft, Logitech, or other popular brands should work. Built-in webcams that are usually found in laptops may have issues depending on the model, which is why we recommend a separate webcam in most cases.

You can test this with the trial version and see if your webcam works or if you are just wanting to test compatibility.

Capture photos using any TWAIN / WIA compliant webcam, digital camera or scanner and insert them directly to your card, save them to your database or export them as graphic files. Built-in support for Canon cameras, view the full list HERE.

How do I use the Command Line Interface in ID Flow Enterprise Edition?

Command Line Interface
ID Flow Integration
Print ID Cards From Your Application
Print ID cards from your Windows or Web-based application using the ID Flow command line interface. Simply design an ID card using ID Flow, then call the ID Flow command line utility from your application to print a card in the background. No user interaction required.

Transparent Operation
When you print cards from your application using the ID Flow command line interface, your users don’t even need to know that ID Flow is printing the labels. Transparent integration means cards will print in the background with no required user interaction.

Web-based XML Integration
Interfacing with your web application is easy with the ID Flow command line interface. Options and data can be passed via XML from your web application. The command line interface will parse the XML data and print ID cards using the specified options and data. The command line interface will also accept XML data from traditional Windows applications.

How Integration Works
Download ID Flow Command Line Interface Brochure Click Here for the PDF
Step 1: Design your ID card using ID Flow
Step 2: Add code to your application that will call the ID Flow command line interface with the appropriate parameters

Sample Integration Code (Visual Basic .NET)
Public Sub printCard(ByVal user_id As String, ByVal num_copies As String, ByVal printer_name As String)
Dim proc_id As Integer
Dim command As String
Dim program_location As String
Dim filter_statement As String
Dim design_file As String
‘ Set program location
program_location = “””C:\Program Files\Jolly Technologies\ID Flow\CommandLine.exe”””
‘ Set number of copies
num_copies = “””” & num_copies & “”””
‘ Set printer name
printer_name = “””” & printer_name & “”””
‘ Select the requested user record from the database that was configured at design-time
filter_statement = “””`UserID`=” & user_id & “”””
‘ Set design file
design_file = “””C:\card_design.jps”””
‘ Build the command line
command = program_location & ” /copies ” & num_copies
command = command & ” /printer ” & printer_name
command = command & ” /filter ” & filter_statement
command = command & ” ” & design_file
‘ Start the CommandLine application, and store the process id
proc_id = Shell(command, AppWinStyle.MaximizedFocus)
End Sub

Step 3: Print cards from your application
Feature Highlights
Print pre-designed cards and badges

  • Card design file
  • Target printer
  • Number of copies
  • Data to print on card
  • User login credentials
  • File password
  • Many print options
  • Much more

Printing variable data is easy
There are three ways to pass variable data using the ID Flow command line interface.

  1. Name-value pairs:
    Data may be passed in the form of name-value pairs such as Name=”Michael Larkin”
  2. XML formatted data:
    Data may be provided in an XML formatted file
  3. Database query string:
    Records may be selected for printing by passing a database query string, similar to the WHERE clause in a SQL SELECT statement

Full scripting support
The ID Flow command line interface is fully scriptable and you pass batch files to run sequences of commands for printing multiple groups of cards and badges.

Detailed logging
The details of each action can be logged in a detailed log file.

Simplify User Interaction
The ID Flow command line interface can also be an ideal solution for novice users. For example, a shortcut to the command line interface can be created on the desktop, that when clicked, prints a set of cards, making card printing as simple as double-clicking on an icon.
