PRIMA MAGICARD 2e User Manual

XID5xx Printer Driver Manual 

 
The printer line shows the printer’s status: If the printer is connected and detected by the 
Dispatcher and has no low level errors (e.g. 'No cards'), the printer’s related signs become active.  
 
The 'LED' to the right of the printers ID shows with several colors the related state: 
 
- Green 

Ready 

- Green flashing 

Printing 

- Yellow 

Initializing mode 

- Red 

Fatal error 

 
Every printer can be set into Pause Mode or continue individually. This function is very useful e.g. if 
the user wants to change the ribbon or insert new cards into the tray.  
 
 

 
For all three printer consumables the remaining capacity will be shown separately: Retransfer 
Film, Color Ribbon and Cards in Tray. All values will be updated dynamically. 
 
Note: The values shown are an approximation. 
 
 

 
All jobs handled by the dispatcher are shown in the "File List" area. Every time an application 
sends print jobs to the spooler, the dispatcher will take them to its own job list. The problem of 
hanging print jobs by the Windows spooler is reduced. 
 
When a print job is started, DISP shows the status of every printer including the buffered print jobs 
in the file list as shown in the sample. The group option will be described later in section 4.4.2.x. 
 
The image sample below shows the action of seven printers connected. 
 
Also listed is the main information regarding the print job: 
 
- Job on printer 
 
- Document Name 
 
- Type of color printed on Front of card 
 
- Type of color printed on Back of card 
 
- Printer ID's assigned 
 
- Timestamp of when the print was started
