Pro/Pro-L Card Printer UserÕs Manual
4. Once the cards have been inserted, remove the top card and throw it away if
you suspect it has been contaminated with oil from your fingertips. Close the
Card Hopper Door. The cards will automatically feed off the top of the stack.
NOTE: The printerÕs 100 card capacity is figured using a standard CR-80 3.375ÓL x 2.125ÓW x
.030Ó (85.6mmL x 54.0mmW x .75mm) card size. Please be aware of this when inserting
cards of varying thicknesses.
E. RUNNING THE SELF TEST
A self test should now be performed to check for proper operation of the printer.
The standard self test function requires only that a full-color ribbon and at least one
card is installed. The standard self test function prints onto both sides of a card but
does not utilize any of the printerÕs ribbon overlay capabilities or overlaminate
capabilities if using Pro-L. Note that if printing with a full-color ribbon with a resin
black panel, most rectangles on the back side of the self test card will appear as
solid black. A sample of the self test pattern is shown below.
1. If the printer is ON, turn it OFF now by pressing the On/Cancel button. The
LED lights should no longer be illuminated. Verify that a full-color ribbon is
installed and that cards are properly loaded.
2. Press and hold the Pause/Resume button.
3. While holding the Pause/Resume button down, turn the printer back ON by
quickly pressing and releasing the On/Cancel button.
4. Release the Pause/Resume button. The self test will begin printing
approximately 5 seconds after the Pause/Resume button has been released.
