About the priority of printing data

●A extracted text has the priority higher than a picture file, and is always

printed on the top surface.

●The picture file is processed in order of registration. When the printing

range overlaps, the data of the picture file registered later overwrites

former data.

⑥ The page number of the printing document

⑦ This ink is printed on the front side.

⑧ This ink is printed on the back side.

●When the [Page split] is not set, extracts the data of UV ink from the

data of YMC ink, or uses the picture file for UV ink.

About the MAC address position

●In the case of UV print, the printer always prints the MAC address.

●The position of MAC address can be set up separately to front-side and

back-side by the printer driver. The following two position can be chos-

en.

[Landscape] Orientation

① The position of MAC address at [Upper Right].

② The position of MAC address at [Lower Left].

③ (X=0, Y=0)

●The above setting of MAC address is always effective regardless of the

printer unit setting.

Indicated data shows the relative position from the starting point of the

picture. So actual printing position on the card will include some differ-

ence from the above mentioned indicated data.

Memo:

●The printing starting position that is set with application software may

not match with the above mentioned X=0 and Y=0.

About 1 mm portion is not printed from the end of a picture to a card.

Retransfer

●Settings related to retransfer. Click on the corresponding square to

change the value.

●Setting a value toward the top right end increases the transfer force,

however heat deformation of the card will also be greater.

① TEMP

●Temperature of the retransfer roller.

② SPEED

●Retransfer speed.

Bend Remedy

●Settings related to bend remedy.

Click on the corresponding square to change the value.

●Setting a value toward the top right end increases the bend remedy

force, however impact of heat on the card will also be greater.

●To disable bend remedy, select the "Disable remedy" button.

① TEMP

●Temperature of the bend remedy roller.

② SPEED

●Bend remedy speed.

Note:

●The optimal retransfer and bend remedy settings vary according to the

card type as well as environment in which the printer is used. As such,

set the values after trying out under the environment where it is to be

used.

●If the retransfer or bend remedy settings are different from the preset

temperature of the printer, it may take a while before printing starts.

●There is only one standard retransfer temperature. Altering the retrans-

fer temperature on one side changes the temperature on the other side

as well.

●Bend remedy is effective when printing on only one side. Setting bend

remedy to a high temperature during double-sided printing may cause

the card to deform significantly.

As such, select the “Disable remedy” button during double-sided print-

ing.

●When bend remedy is disabled using the “Disable remedy” button, the

speed is automatically set to the maximum value (+2).

●If the bend remedy force becomes strong, the surface of remedy side

will become lusterless.
