6.8.3 About Selecting and Synchronizing the Image Printer Ribbon
Each side of a printed card processed by the EC2000 consumes a varying number of card-sized panels of
dye from the image printer ribbon, depending on the ribbon type and whether the card is printed on both
sides. After inserting a new ribbon, the EC2000 must be calibrated so it will recognize the loaded
ribbon’s type and will align the ribbon’s panels properly with card stock during printing.
6.8.4 How to Select and Synchronize the Image Printer Ribbon
To calibrate the ribbon sensor, perform the following steps:
1) If the EC2000 is not showing the Status page, press the Status button to return to it.
2) Press the Menu button to open the Main Menu page.
3) Press the Settings button to open the Settings Menu page.
4) Press the Printer button to open the Printer Utility page.
5) If you have not changed the ribbon type, press the Sync Ribbon button and skip the remaining steps.
6) Press the Auto Detect & Configure Ribbon button. The EC2000 will show status on the screen
while it calibrates the ribbon sensor, then will show the Ribbon Auto Detection popup window.
7) Read the Ribbon Auto Detection popup message, then press the OK button to close it.
8) If the popup window said “Undetermined ribbon was detected,” do the following:
a) Navigate to Menu > Settings > Printer to open the Printer Utility page.
b) Press the Advanced button to open the Printer Utility advanced page.
c) Press the Printer Settings… button to launch the No Printer Selected - Properties window.
d) In the dropdown list at the bottom left of the window, select the MagTekEC printer. The title of
the window should change to MagTekEC - Properties.
