Caution
Precautions during use
Please read through all the following items before using the
printer.
●
Handling instructions
Pay careful attention of the following when handling a printing media
(retransfer film or ink ribbon) or card.
●
●
Using a deformed or scratched card may cause card feed errors.
Before Use
Touching the printing surface of the printing media or card directly with your hand may cause the print to turn out uneven.
Foreign particles attached to the printed areas may result in
printing voids. Attach the printing media in a clean environment.
Use of electrically-charged printing media or cards may cause
printing errors. Do not allow static to occur, such as due to
cards rubbing against each other.
When replacing or replenishing a printing media or card that is
stored under a low temperature, use after leaving the media or
card at the operating ambient temperature of the printer for at
least one hour.
Otherwise, condensation may occur, causing printing errors or
malfunction of the printer.
●
●
●
●
When attaching the retransfer film/ink ribbon
●
●
Use your hands to adjust the media at the supply and take-up
sides so that they are parallel to each other.
When doing so, make sure you do not touch the printing surface.
Refer to the label adhered to the cassette for alignment of the
screen position. Printing errors may occur if the position is not
properly aligned.
Storage
Storage instructions
The storage conditions of the printing media (retransfer film or
ink ribbon) and card have a significant effect on the printing
quality. Store the printing media or card in one of the following
locations.
●
During transport or moving
● Make sure to set to the transport mode.
"Transport mode setting" (' page 24)

Card types
Thin cards and certain card materials may not be suitable for
printing using this printer. For details on the card material to use
and other specifications, please consult our authorized dealers in
advance.
Note:
If the card thickness is not properly adjusted, printing error or
printer malfunction may occur.
"Adjusting Card Thickness" (' page 56)
●
When a card is jammed inside the printer
Cards may not be discharged correctly such as when the retransfer setting for the card is inappropriate.
Stop using and remove the jammed cards immediately. Otherwise,
you may have problems removing the cards, and fire or electric
shock may also occur as a result.
● When a card jam occurs, make use of the jog dial to remove the
jam.
● If the card cannot be removed, consult a servicing personnel or
our authorized dealers.
Precautions on retransfer films/ink ribbons
Put on the supplied gloves when handling the retransfer film/ink ribbon.
Direct contact of your hand with the printing surface may result in printing errors.
