Printer Components: Resin Thermal Transfer to USB
Interface Port
Component Description
Resin Thermal
Transfer
Resin Thermal Transfer is the print method the Printer uses to print
sharp black text and crisp bar codes that can be read by both infrared
and visible-light bar code scanners.
Like dye-sublimation, this process uses the same thermal Printhead
to transfer color to a film from a resin-only Print Ribbon or the resin
black (K) Panel of a full color Print Ribbon.
The difference, however, is that solid dots of resin-based ink are
transferred and fused to the surface of the film and then the film is
laminated onto the card surface. (Note: This produces very durable,
saturated printing.)
Card Cartridge Load blank cards into this Cartridge.
Card Output
Hopper
Stores 200 cards.
Card
Lamination
Module
Works in conjunction with the Printer to apply a variety of different
overlaminates to printed cards, providing increased card durability
and security.
(Note: When printing a batch of cards, the Printer can be encoding
and printing one card while the Lamination Module laminates another
card.)
LCD Display Displays the current status of the Printer.
Printhead The component of the Printer that actually does the printing. This
component is fragile and must not be bumped or touched with
anything other than a cleaning pen.
Softkey Buttons Current function is displayed above the button and will change
depending upon the Printer's mode of operation.
Card Cleaning
Roller
Automatically cleans cards for higher print quality. (Note: Replace
this Roller after every 1000+ cards or as needed.)
Power Port Connect to the included power supply.
USB Interface
Port
Connect to the Windows PC USB cable, LAN Connector.
