4 P630i, P640i Card Printer User’s Manual 980541-003 Rev. A
Introduction
Controls and Indicators
If you press and hold the PRINT button for more than two seconds, the printer will
continuously reprint the image in the buffer. Stop this action by pressing the button
momentarily while printing is in proces
Note that pressing the PRINT button will have no effect if any of the following applies:
• An error condition exists
• You have set up the print driver to print color on both sides of the card
• The optional hardware lockout key, ID/Key, is missing (but this does not disable the
checkerboard printout available after power-up).
RIBBON button
This button is used to synchronize the ribbon – in other words, to position it correctly under
the print head. If you hold the RIBBON button down and power up the printer, it toggles on/
off the Ribbon Syncronization feature when the door is closed.
In typical applications, the ribbon type is YMCK, and the back of the card is printed first. In
such cases, pressing the RIBBON button will advance the color ribbon to bring the leading
edge of the next black panel under the print head.
If back side printing is not enabled, the printer will synchronize on the next yellow panel when
the RIBBON button is pressed.
LAMINATE button
(For the P640i Printer, this applies to the Upper and Lower Laminator; the P630i Printer has
only the Upper Laminator.)
If either (or both) of the laminate transfer rollers is not loaded with a laminate patch, then
pressing the LAMINATE button will correct the condition, provided the cassette is not out of
laminate, and if the cassette latch is closed (locked). If both transfer rollers are already loaded,
the LAMINATE button has no effect. If you hold the LAMINATE button down and power
up the printer, it toggles on/off the Ribbon Syncronization feature when the printer is powered
up.
A typical use of the LAMINATE button is in reloading a transfer roller after removing the
first hand-cut patch of laminate following installation of a fresh roll.
