Testing Motor Functions 
The Printer Motor Cycle Tests dialog box allows you to perform various 
operations with the printer to check functionality. 
 
Procedure 
1.  Select from this list of available tests: 
•  Pick and Eject Card Test: This test picks a card, moves it just past the 
printhead location, and sends it back out of the printer. 
•  Magnetic Stripe Module Test: This test picks a card and continuously 
cycles it back and forth between the magnetic stripe sensor and the input 
sensor. 
•  Printhead Cam Test: The printhead cam continually cycles between 
elevated and retracted until you click Stop.  
2.  Enter the number of cycles to perform in the Cycle duration box. 
3.  Click Start to begin the test (Stop ends the test before it completes all the 
cycles). 
4.  Click Reset Printer as it is a good practice to reset the printer before 
returning to card production.
