Printing with the transfer film set improperly may cause the image to be faint. 17 Set-up (continued) Caution when loading the retransfer film cassette and/or the ink ribbon cassette The following caution shall be kept when the retransfer film cassette and/or the ink ribbon cassette is removed because of card jam or other trouble. Please pay enough attention so that the retransfer film and/or ink ribbon is maintained at the right position. Particulary, the ink ribbon is extremely thin, therefore it apt to slip down when the cassette is removed as shown in the illustration. Improper Winding Setting cards Please use cards specified by your dealer. This unit can take both 0.76 mm(0.03inches)-thick and 0.25 mm (0.01inches)-thick cards. The factory setting is for 0.76 mm-thickness. CAUTION Fingerprints, soiling, etc. on card surface can result in print errors. Wear lint-free gloves when handling. 1. Open the card tray. Hold the lower part of the card tray and pull the tray toward you slowly until it no longer moves. Adjust the position with hands so that the media position of take-up side and supply side becomes parallel When loaded in this condition, it may cause improper printing such as INK RUNOUT error, improper color printing etc. To avoid this, please handle the ink ribbon and/or the retransfer film very carefully with hands so that the media position of take-up side become parallel. Please do not touch the print side of the ink ribbon and/ or the retransfer film with your hands. Otherwise, it may cause improper printing. When adjusting the print position of the retransfer film and/or ink ribbon, please follow the instruction label attached on the cassettes. 18 Inserting cards CAUTION When moving the card bracket back into position, do this slowly to avoid jamming your fingers. Leaving the card bracket out of position may cause card jams. The unit can take about 300 0.76mm-thick cards. As for 0.25mm thick cards do not insert more than 300 pcs. CAUTION When removing new cards from the box, it is possible that cards may be stuck due to static electricity. In this case, peel the cards off one at a time before setting into position. Hold the edges of the card when carrying out these operations. 1. 3. Close the card tray. Push the card tray back into the printer until it no longer moves. Pull the card bracket back. The card bracket locks when it reaches the hole. 2. Insert the cards and move the bracket back into position. Limit the number of cards as the card bracket moves back slightly from the lock position. Memo To print pre-printed cards on this printer, set the cards as indicated on the Software Operation Manual of the host computer. CAUTION Setting the cards improperly can cause feed jams. Check that the cards are neatly arranged. Align the cards neatly with the side CAUTION When a magnetic or IC card is preprinted in a dark color such as black, errors in positioning may occur during encoding. Consult your dealer on this issue before printing preprinted cards. Be sure that the tops of the cards are aligned properly CAUTION When handling cards, avoid dusty environment and use the attached gloves. Dusty cards such as those fingermarked may cause improper printing. Consult your dealer to purchase new gloves. 19 When using magnetic cards When using cards with magnetic strips, set the cards in the following manner. For JIS II cards: Loading cards Load cards when the printer’s LCD panel shows the message “Ready” or “No Card”, and not when printer operations have stopped due to an error. Cards can also be loaded when the power supply is not switched on. If there is a drop in the volume of remaining cards (under 20 cards with a thickness of 0.76mm), the electronic beep sounds before every feeding. Ready No Card OR Loading Place the card with its magnetic stripes upward and facing the card bracket. When “Loading” is displayed on the LCD panel, do not open the card tray under any circumstances. The unit is currently feeding cards. If a message other than the one above is displayed, cards can be loaded even while the unit is printing. However, you are recommended to load cards when the unit is not printing. For ISO cards: To prevent defective printing caused by suspended printing or vibration as a result of opening and closing the card tray, load cards with care. Place the card with its magnetic stripes downward and facing the card bracket. CAUTION Switching the card thickness Printing on cards with magnetic strips is not guaranteed. When using contact IC cards When using contact IC cards, set in the following manner. Depending on the material, some 0.25mm(0.01inches) thick cards may not be suitable for printing. Consult your dealer regarding the materials and specifications of the card before purchasing. WARNING Electric shock Injury Place the IC card with its IC terminal inward and facing the card bracket. 20 • As for switching the card thickness,consult your dealer or the service personnel. Otherwise injuries or malfunction of the printer may be caused Set-up (continued) Connecting with a host computer CAUTION Do not switch off the power of the host computer during printing, and do not use the suspend function on the host computer.

Care and cleaning Always make sure that the printer is turned off before cleaning. (However, cleaning of the discharge rollers and magnetic head should be carried out with the power turned on.) To achieve the best performance from the printer, always check each part before use for dust and dirt and clean if necessary. The following explains the main rollers that require cleaning. For details about other rollers, see p.39 (Internal roller layout). Dust and dirt, particularly on the thermal head, rollers and cleaning rollers can cause print blurs and shifting of colors. Cleaning the cleaning rollers The cleaning rollers remove dust and dirt sticking to the card. Cleaning the cleaning rollers after every use is recommended if the unit is used almost everyday. Depending on the cards, there may be much dust and dirt. In such a case, perform cleaning every 100 to 200 cards. Do not do this, however, during printing operations. 1. 3. Wash the rollers of the cleaning unit with water. Wash out dirt on the roller surface with your fingers. Do not use alcohol or detergents. The cleaning unit should be cleaned only with running water. Open the card tray. CAUTION 2. Remove the cleaning unit. Pull out the cleaning unit toward you as shown in the illustration below. After washing the cleaning unit with water, wait until it completely dries up and set it in the printer. 4. Push the cleaning unit back into the printer. Push the cleaning unit with the rollers facing upward until it is securely back into the place. 5. Close the card tray. CAUTION CAUTION Deteriorated cleaning rollers may cause defects in the printed card. If the rollers begin to deteriorate, replace the cleaning unit. (We recommend replacement after a year) When you remove the cleanning unit, be careful not to injure your fingers by inner mechanism. 35 Cleaning (continued) Cleaning the thermal head Cleaning the fan filter When the thermal head gets dirty, defects such as unwanted lines appearing on the printed card may occur. It is recommended to clean the thermal head after printing about 10,000 frames. The thermal head is a consumable component, that is, it has a limited service life. When the fan filter gets dirty, partial omissions may occur on the printed cards, or the printing result looks dirty. It is recommended to clean the fan filter after printing about 10,000 cards. 1. 1. Open the printer door and remove the ink ribbon cassette and the retransfer film cassette. Remove the fan filters located in three positions on the sides of the printer. See p.13, 15 in this manual. 2. Wipe the cleaning head with a cotton bud (sold separately), dipped in alcohol (sold separately). Cotton bud (sold separately) Thermal head Wipe the head indicated with 2.

It is recommended that fan filter should be replaced once a year. Contact your dealer for details of replacing the filter. 5. Install the fan filters back to the original positions. ENTER Cleaning.. Insert the cleaning card in about 10 seconds. If you fails to set the card within this time, the printer returns to “Start OK?” Press the ENTER button again to proceed. 37 5. Cleaning the magnetic head Set a cleaning card. Peel off the protective paper of the cleaning card and insert it into the card discharge slot. The card will be drawn into the unit by the rollers and cleaning will then be carried out from card discharge slot on the left side of the printer. Insert the card with its adhesive face upside down to repeat the cleaning procedure once more. Cleaning card (accessory) Dirty magnetic head will cause a write/read error. It is recommended to clean the magnetic head after printing about 1,000 cards. Cleaning the magnetic head is not necessary if the magnetic stripe card is not used. 1. Keep the ink ribbon and retransfer film cassettes in their mounting positions. See p.13 to p.17 of this manual. The cleaning card can be inserted only from the right side. 2. Comfirm that the READY LED(Green) is lighted 3. Specify the “cleaning” mode in the user mode. See p.25 in this manual. >User Mode NG card discharge slot CAUTION • If the retransfer roller (heat roller) MENU gets too hot, HR is too hot! appears on the LCD panel, and the printer returns to the Ready state. Turn off the power of the printer, and wait until the roller completely cools down before starting the work. Confirm that the retransfer film cassette has been removed. • The cleaning card does not go into the card discharge slot at the left side. • If a card jam occurs, turn off the power, then turn on the power again. The jammed card will be discarded. >Cleaning> 4. Apply alcohol on the magnetic head cleaning card. Drip three or four drops of alcohol on the magnetic stripes. Alcohol (sold separately) 6. Turn off the power after the cleaning card is discharged. Wait for 10 seconds before turning on the power again. CAUTION The cleaning card can be used only once and disposable after using.

BE EXT2 Comminucate Remedy (to the next page) Mending broken ink ribbon and retransfer film If the ink ribbon or retransfer film is broken, mend it in the following procedures: 1. Trim neatly the end of broken portions with a pair of scissors. 2. Align both ends and apply the Scotch tape in the center of the aligned ends. Please do not discard the used ink ribbon or retransfer film on the winding side. 3. Turn the ink ribbon or retransfer film to the winding side with your hand until the mended portion is completely wound up. Align both ends evenly Winding side Scotch tape CAUTION Set the ink ribbon and retransfer film with care. See p.13 and p.15. When retransfer operation is not complete Depending on the cards used, retransfer operation may not be complete. In that case, try the following items. (See Page 30, “Retransfer mode setting”) 1. Try to increase the retransfer temperature. 2. Try to decrease the retransfer speed. For the reverse side of the card, try to decrease the reverse retransfer speed. 3. Dust on the card surface. Use clean cards with no dust. Use the attached gloves to avoid fingermark on cards. 4. Ambient temperature Retransfer operation may not be complete if the temperature of card surface is very low such as the card first printed in the cold morning. In that case, wait until the room becomes warm enough. Caution when printing characters When printing small characters or thin lines in black ink, the thickness of minimum 2 dots necessary for “Standard” mode. Printing small characters or thin lines by 1 dot tends to cause blurring. To avoid this tendency, following settings are recommended. See “Ink mode setting” on Page 29. 1. Set the black value K: Try to increase setting value to more than 0 (Standard) Then darker printing is possible. 2. Set the K printing mode: Change mode from “Standard” to “Fine”. Then thicker printing is possible. If blurring still appears after having tried the above setting , selecting more adequate character font is recommended. About printing errors If blurring or color shifts occur in your print results, clean all rollers starting with the cleaning rollers. Some image errors may depend on the design of the card to print. In particular, wrinkles can easily occur if large surfaces are printed with high density ink. To avoid such problems, contact the dealer where the printer was purchased concerning card designs. 43 Troubleshooting (continued) Removing card jams To determine the part of the machine affected by a card jam refer to the error code on the operation panel LCD panel on the printer and the relevant page in this manual.
