Preparing the printer for driver installation

After connecting the printer and PC and before installing the driver, do the following:

• Load cards in the card cartridge. See “Loading cards” on page 2-3.

• Install the continuous cleaning roller in the printer. See “Replacing the cleaning

roller sleeve” on page 4-3. There is no used sleeve to remove.

• Install the print ribbon. See “Loading the print ribbon” on page 2-5. When installing

a new printer, there is no used ribbon to remove.

• If the printer includes an optional topcoat or overlay module, install the supply

material. See “Loading the overlay or topcoat material” on page 2-7.

• Power on the printer and PC. See “Powering on the printer and PC” on page 2-13.

• The topcoat or overlay (laminator) module must warm up before printing a card. If

you complete driver installation and print the sample card before the laminator is

ready, a message box appears asking you to wait while the laminator warms up.

The card will complete processing as soon as all modules in the printer are ready.
