Reviewing DTC550 Boot up Sequence
Step Process
1 The Printer’s Firmware is initialized.
2 The Firmware checks for an installed ribbon.
3 The Hopper is raised.
4 The fan activates and is turned off.
5 All of the sensors are checked to see if a card is present under a sensor. If
a card is detected, the card is ejected.
6 If no cards are present under a sensor then the rollers are moved forward
and backwards to see if a card is present.
If a card is detected by this process, it is ejected.
7 The flipper is leveled to allow for a card feed.
8 If the “Exception Feed” is turned off the Hopper is lowered to allow for
loading cards.
9 If no errors are detected the LCD screen displays READY. If errors are
detected, then an error message is displayed and the LCD displays NOT
READY until the error condition is corrected.
