  If the FARGO electronics Printer displays 'No Shield Loaded', attempts are being made to print with the Printer Driver's SmartShield option selected. If using the SmartGuard feature, insert an access card that contains a SmartShield image or encode a SmartShield image onto the current card and try your print job again. If you do not want to print a SmartShield image, deselect the Printer Driver’s SmartShield option.
