Nothing happens for two or three seconds, then;142. The READY light flashes yellow (indicating that the laminator is warming up), and you will hear the fan running , and a clicking sound inside the printer (the flip station resetting itself). Finally;143. After a few minutes (3 to 5), the READY light will show steady green, indicating that the printer is ready to print.14Test card15Push buttons and Indicator lights15PRINT button15RIBBON button16LAMINATE button16INDICATOR LIGHT SUMMARY17A typical card production sequence181. Blank cards are loaded face down in the hopper, with the mag stripe (if any) toward the front.182. The carriage pushes the bottom card out of the deck, carrying it under the mag encoder.183. After passing under the encoder, the card surface is cleaned by a tacky roller (which is itself decontaminated periodically by adhesive tape in the cleaning cassette).184. The carriage drives the card under the print head, which transfers black characters and/or bar code from the K panel onto the back surface of the card.185. The carriage pushes the back-printed card into the flip station, which elevates the card then flips it through 180o.186. The card, now face up, is returned to the carriage, which is then reversed into position for a second cleaning operation.187. After its face cleaning the card is driven under the print head again, this time to print a yellow (Y) dye image - the first of three color passes.188. The carriage reverses the card into position for the second color pass, magenta (M), followed by another reverse-and-print cycle for the third color pass, cyan (C).199. Now fully printed, the card re-enters the flip station, which this time acts only as an elevator (no flipping) to bring the card up to the laminator level.1910. An ejector arm propels the card into the laminator infeed rollers, which in turn drive the card between the two white transfer rollers, step 11.1911. Each transfer roller is “loaded” with a patch of laminate, cut from the top and bottom cassettes shortly after the previous card passed through the laminator.1912. As the card passes between the transfer rollers the laminate patches are rolled into place. They are then permanently bonded to the card by a pair of heated rollers applying pressure to the top and bottom surfaces.19Figure 1 . Standard YMCK color ribbon16Media Handling21Loading cards211. Card orientation in the hopper: the back side of the card faces up, and the mag stripe of the card is to the front of the printer.212. Load the magazine a few cards at a time, holding the cards by the edges as shown. Don’t try to load an entire pack at one time, because that would mean handling the upper and lower surfaces - see STOP, above right.213. Place the weight on top of the card stack.21Hot Loading22Loading the cleaning cassette221. Open the main cover of the printer, then remove the spent cleaning cassette by pulling it toward you.222. Remove the protective foil from the replacement cleaning cassette.223. Install a fresh cleaning cassette by locating the rectangular pin on the cleaning mechanism in the receptacle on the cassette. Push the cassette gently home, ensuring that the internal grooves on the upper spool engage the teeth on the takeup drive23Why 10 cards is the normal clean frequency23Loading the color ribbon231. Install an empty ribbon core on the right (takeup) arbor. Push the core back as far as it will go, making sure the internal grooves on the core engage the teeth on the takeup arbor.242. Pull out more ribbon, then bring the free end of the ribbon up to the right of the takeup core.243. With the ribbon centered on the takeup core, attach its free end to core with Scotch tape or the adhesive label that came with the fresh roll. Take up slack by reversing the supply roll (don’t try to rotate the takeup arbor).244. Close the printer cover, then press the RIBBON button to initialize the color ribbon. If the MEDIA light fails to go out, check the ribbon sensor.255. Re-open the printer cover to inspect the ribbon path for wrinkles and folds. Correct if necessary, then close the cover.25Laminating Station25Laminate Cassettes25Main components of the laminating system26Removing the cassettes261. Open the latch plate by flipping it to the full vertical position, until you feel some resistance. Turn the UPPER latch counterclockwise, the LOWER clockwise.262. Grasp the cassette and pull it straight toward you, clear of the printer.273. Open the cassette, like a clam shell, by separating its two halves. Grasp the two halves firmly with the fingers, then pull. Do NOT use tools to pry it apart.27Loading the cassettes271. Discard the spent core. Hold the open cassette with its cavities toward you, white idler wheel to the top.272. Place a roll of laminate in the cassette so that it feeds from the bottom of the roll, UP and OUT to the front.

Check the action of the cassette latch. If necessary adjust its fore-aft position so that its ears smoothly engage the cassette without nudging the cassette.662. Print and laminate a few test cards in the usual way, noting the direction of skew. Don’t worry about vertical offset at this stage unless the laminate overhangs grossly, in which case proceed to the Vertical offset adjustment procedure, below.663. Referring to Section 2, Media Handling, unlatch and remove the upper cassette from its pocket. Rotate the laminate core counterclockwise, reeling in the laminate to bring it even with the lips of the cassette - VERY IMPORTANT! Set the cassette aside.674. Remove the upper transfer guide, then discard the laminate patch on the upper transfer roller. (If you don’t do this, the next patch to be applied will not reflect the skew adjustment you are about to make.)675. Using a fibertip pen mark the skew adjust screw head for reference.676. Using a 7/64" hex wrench turn the skew adjust screw in ¹ turn increments as directed in the diagram below.677. After each movement of the skew adjust screw do the following three actions:67a.
