Component Description
Ready/Printer
Open Screens
Once the Printer has finished its system check and with the Print
Station closed, the Printer will display READY to indicate that the
Printer is ready for operation. (Note: The Printer will stay in this
mode until it receives a print job or it is turned OFF.)
With the Top Cover open only, the screen will read Top Cover
Open, and you can select Menu or cycle between the Input
Hoppers.
With both the Top Cover and Printhead Arm open, the screen will
say Ribbon Access Open, and you can then use the softkey
buttons (labeled FWD, Menu, and REV) to move the Rollers or
access the menu.
Press either the FWD or REV buttons to move the Printer's card
path Rollers in the indicated direction.
In any of these screens, the Printer will always display the Menu
option above the center softkey button.
Press this button to access the Printer's menu options
. (Note: The
Menu option is available only in the Ready/Printer Open screens.)
Print Status
Screen
During operation, the LCD will indicate the current Print Status by
showing you the area of the Printer that is active. It does this by
displaying the following icons on the second line:
• FEEDING indicates the Feeder Station is feeding a blank card
into the Printer.
• ENCODING indicates the Encode Station is encoding a card
(appears only if you are using a Printer with an optional built-in
Encoding Module).
• PRINTING indicates the Print Station is printing onto the card.
• LAMINATING indicates the Lamination Station is applying an
overlaminate to a card (appears only if using a Printer
equipped with the optional Card Lamination Module. See
Reviewing the Card Lamination Module
.
Since the Printer is capable of performing several of these
functions simultaneously, one or all of these icons may appear at
once, depending on if you are printing just one card or a batch of
cards.
The Print Status screen always displays Cancel in the lower left
and Pause in the lower right.
