Sensor Data
These are of several different types of sensors and interlock switches, but they have one thing
in common - they tell the printer’s control logic what is happening and where, enabling it to
continue with the process or, if a malfunction occurs, to light the appropriate indicator light
and report a specific error condition on the host computer screen.
1. Ribbon Panel Detect - The current reading of the Color Sensor.
2. Panel Threshold - The current value of the detection threshold for the color ribbon.
Above this value is termed “black,” below this value is termed “not black.”
3. Laminate Sensors - Reflective sensor that detect the presence of laminate on the transfer
rollers: below 124 = laminate present, above 140 = laminate absent.
4. Card Presence Sensor - The reflective sensor to the right of the card hopper:
High = no card, Low = card present
5. Printhead Voltage - Should be about 24V.
6. AC Frequency - 50 or 60 Hz.
7. Assumed AC Voltage - 110V assumed for 60 Hz.
8. Printhead Temperature - Temperature ceiling 70°C (above that temperature, printing is
stopped until the head cools).
9. Controller Board Temperature - Should be about 5° above ambient.
10. Heater Temperature - Temperatures at the top and bottom laminate heater cores.
11. Logic States - Summarizes all two-state interlocks and photo sensors -- a very useful
diagnostic tool. For example: opening/closing the doors will result in the logic states to
commute from 1 to 0; and if not, it is a clear indication the sensor (switch) is faulty.
