ID Card Printer – User Manual

- 19 -

We recommend only using self adhesive cards supplied by Magicard via your ID Card Printer

supplier.

There are many different types of self-adhesive cards. Thorough investigation and testing has shown

that poorer quality or incorrect card types will cause problems in the Printer. These problems range

from poor image quality, dye-film being cut and cards getting jammed in the roller mechanism.

Only the HoloKote watermark

image will be printed onto the

Gold HoloPatch.

Refer to your PC Badge printing Application for instructions

on how to print and encode a Magnetic Stripe Card.

HoloPatch cards should be fed in with the gold patch on top, and on

the Left-hand side (viewed from the front of the printer).

From the Start Menu on your PC go to the <Printer and Faxes>.

Right click on the ID Card printer and from the drop down menu select

Then select the <Card Front> tab and select HoloPatch.

Using Self-Adhesive Cards

If you have a printer fitted with the optional magnetic encoding module,

you can simultaneously print and encode the magnetic stripe on the rear

of a magnetic stripe Card.

The magnetic encoding module can encode both

HI-CO and LO-CO Magnetic stripe Cards.

When feeding Magnetic Stripe Cards, make sure the

stripe is on the left and underneath (when viewing from

the front of the Printer).
