Ribbons
Five imaging ribbons are offered: A YMC rib

bon for die sublimation only printing, a
YMCKr ribbon for those that need Kr (black
resin) imaging on one surface only, and a
YMCKr_Kr ribbon for those that need Kr im

ages to appear on two surfaces. Mono

chrome ribbons KsO and KrO can also be
used.
Also, destination control of commands can be used,
as follows:

mand to the Print Station.
Printing occurs on Clear and White Chip Card me-
dia components. Color and black resin images can
print on the Clear Card, and Black Resin images can
print on the White Card.
Max3000 Systems laminate the Clear and White
media into two-layer composites. These systems
cannot perform two jobs simultaneously. For exam-
ple, the printer cannot receive downloaded data
with printing in process, and printing cannot occur
with downloading in process. Because of this, pro-
gramming should employ the M operator to concat-
enate printing for all panels within one command
string (e.g., M 1 IS 0[IS 1[IS 2[I[MO[MF[I[MO).
Max3300 Systems can add another Clear Card
that, while remaining unprinted, protects White
Card images, including any security devices. There
-
fore, users can produce either two- or three-layer
composites using these systems. Unlike the
Max3000s, these systems can receive data down
-
loads while printing. Therefore, optimum speed can
result by alternating downloads with print com
-
mands, so that one process can overlap the other.
Errors sensed during a series of download and print
commands results in the assertion of BUSY, during
which time, the bad card gets ejected, the ribbon
gets synchronized, and the printing sequence re
