Chapter 4: Printing Cards
Before Starting to Print
This section explains how to print a card. Make sure that:
 Cards are loaded in the printer or available to insert.
 Ribbon is loaded in the printer. For the steps to follow, refer to “Load the Print Ribbon” on
page 22.
 The card design is set up. If you need to set up or modify the design, refer to “Elements of
Card Design” in the printer’s Installation and Administrator’s Guide, and the documentation
for your card personalization software.
HINTS & TIPS
 Make sure that magnetic stripe cards and smart cards are loaded correctly. A diagram inside
the input hopper of the printer shows the correct card orientation.
 Do not touch the card surface to be printed. Handle cards by their edges, or wear gloves.
 You can print a test card directly from the printer. Refer to “Print a Test Card” on page 20.
