Install the printer
This section describes how to install the Datacard® SP35 or SP55 printer. It describes:
• Unpacking the printer
• Connecting the power cord
• Connecting the data cable
• Preparing for printer driver installation
Unpacking the printer
The printer is small and easy to unpack.
1 Open the shipping carton.
2 Remove the installation map. The top side shows the accessories shipped with the printer. If the printer
includes optional items, the options are checked on the installation map.
3 The cables, Printer Guide, and other supplies are contained in the accessories tray. For SP35, lift out
the accessories tray.
4 The printer is located between two shipping supports. Lift off the top shipping support and put it aside.
5 Lift out the printer and place it on a work surface.
6 After connecting the printer, put the shipping carton, shipping supports, and accessories tray aside in
case you need to ship the printer in the future.
If any items are missing, contact your dealer to inform them.
Connecting the power cord
1 Plug the power supply cord into the printer (1). The power receptacle is located on the side of the
printer.
2 Plug the power cord into the power supply (2).
Do not power on the printer until supplies are loaded.
3 Plug the other end of the power cord into a single-phase, 3-wire grounded receptacle with 90-130V AC
or 195-254V AC at 50 or 60 Hz (3).
The printer power supply automatically adjusts to the voltage of the input power.
Connecting the data cable
The printer has a USB data port and requires a data cable. A printer with smart card module has one or
two additional ports. Do not connect smart card ports at this time!
