Chapter 1: Planning the Installation This chapter provides information about this User’s Guide. It also contains information to help plan the installation of SR200 & SR300 card printers and optional LM200 & LM300 laminators. About This Manual This manual provides detailed instructions for installng the SR200 & SR300 card printers and the optional LM200 & LM300 card laminators.
Whom to Call for Assistance If you work with a Datacard‐authorized dealer, distributor, or value‐added reseller, contact them for assistance. A value‐added reseller provides the SR200 & SR300 card printers and LM200 & LM300 laminators as part of an overall system. If any contents of the box are missing, contact your Datacard‐authorized dealer, distributor, or reseller. If you purchased your printer directly from Datacard, contact the Datacard Customer Care Center in your region: Americas +1 800.328.
The shipping carton for the laminator contains: LM200 or LM300 card laminator Joining plate Cleaning card Power cord Take‐up core You must provide these items or order separately: USB cable Network cable (if printer is to be used over a network) Ink ribbon Retransfer film Blank cards Cleaning kit Refer to the Datacard SR200 & SR300 Card Printers and LM200 & LM300 Laminators User’s Guide for part numbers and ordering information.
Choosing a Location The performance of the printer and optional laminator is strongly influenced by the installation location. Install the unit(s) in a location that meets the following criteria: Install the printer in a location that meets or exceeds ISO14611‐1 Class 8 cleanliness standards. Using the printer in dusty locations may cause print blurring and printhead malfunctions. Power off the printer when printing is not being performed.
Ventilation Clearance Ventilation holes are provided for the cooling fans at the bottom and sides of the printer, and at the back of the laminator. Install the printer and laminator so that the sides are at least 8 inches (200 mm) away from the surrounding wall. Keep the back of the units at least 4 inches (100 mm) away from a wall. Do not place any objects on top of the printer or laminator.
The smart card option is set up for use with a USB data cable only. Network installation is not supported for smart card use. If smart cards are to be encoded, download and install the smart card driver before connecting the printer or installing the printer driver. Refer to “Installing the Smart Card Driver” on page 17 to download and install the smart card driver.
Installation Overview This section provides an overview of the steps you will follow when installing the printer. USB Connection The simplest and most direct method of connecting the card printer to a PC is with a USB cable. With this method, the card printer is a local printer and only the connected PC can use it to print cards.
d. Connect the power cord to the printer and to the laminator (if used). Power on both devices and then power off again. Caution: Do not connect the USB cable to the printer and PC yet. The printer driver must be installed first to enable communication between the components. e. Install printing and laminating supplies (ink ribbon, retransfer material, laminator film cartridges, and cards). 3. Use the Installation CD to install the SR‐CP printer driver onto the PC.
Network Connection When a local network is available, both the card printer and the PC can be connected to the network. When a network connection is used, you can print cards from any PC connected to that network. Each PC must have the design software used to create and print cards, must have the SR‐CP printer driver and Status Monitor installed, and must be connected to the same network as the printer(s). Network Installation Overview Perform these steps to install your card printer to a network.
c. Install the card stacker. d. Connect the power cord to the printer and to the laminator (if used). Power on both devices and then power off again. Caution: Do not connect the USB or network cable to the printer and PC yet. The printer driver must be installed first to enable communication between the components. e. Install printing and laminating supplies (ink ribbon, retransfer material, laminator film cartridges, and cards). 3. Use the Installation CD to install the SR‐CP printer driver onto the PC.
Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware Components This chapter provides step‐by‐step instructions for installing physical components, power cords, and cables of the SR200 & SR300 card printers and optional LM200 & LM300 laminators. Installing the Components Use the following procedures to connect the optional laminator to the card printer, and to install the card hopper and the card stacker to the printer or laminator.
Installing the Card Hopper 1. If present, remove styrofoam packing foam from inside the card hopper. 2. Insert the card hopper hooks into the receptacle slots on the printer. 3. Slide the card hopper down until it clicks into place. The card hopper can hold up to 100, 0.030 inch (0.75 mm) thick cards. Installing the Card Stacker As completed cards exit the printer or laminator, they are collected in the card stacker.
Card Stacker on Optional Laminator When an LM200 or LM300 laminator is installed, hang the card stacker on the laminator’s card stacker receptacle. Be sure to hang the card stacker on the attachment slots, not on the card out slot. Card Out Slot Plugging in the Power Cord(s) Use this procedure to connect the provided power cord to the printer, and to the laminator (if used). Warning: Always use a grounded power outlet that is not shared with other electrical equipment. 1. Verify the plug type.
3. If your system includes an LM200 or LM300 laminator, plug the provided power cord into the back of the laminator. 4. Plug the power cord(s) into the facility power source. 5. If this is the first time you are using the printer, power on the printer and laminator without installing supplies. Keep the power on for about 30 seconds, until an ink error or a film error occurs, then power off. (The printer and optional laminator are shipped in transport mode.
Connecting the USB Cable To connect the card printer directly to a PC, connect a USB cable to the USB port at the back of the printer. f Connecting the Network Cable To use the card printer with a network, connect a network data cable to the Ethernet port at the back of the printer. If your printer includes an optional smart card reader, use only a USB cable for the data cable. Network connection for encoding smart cards is not supported by the SR200 & SR300 card printers.
