CHOOSING THE RIGHT DYE FILM
NOTE:


The HE1000YMCK is generally the appropriate choice for colour printing with both single-sided (UNO)
and double-sided (DUO) Printers.
A HE750YMCKK Film is also more economical when printing a colour of the front of the Card and Black
only (such as Barcodes etc.) on the rear of the Card.
Below is a general guide to selecting the most suitable Film for any typical application.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT CARDS
Not all white PVC Cards are the same. For best image quality always use high grade PVC Cards.
Pure PVC Card stock or laminated PVC/Polyester Cards are available. The latter are more durable and
better suited to heavy use and heat lamination when required. For access control and Smart Card
applications, your Dealer should provide the appropriate type for Retransfer printing.
For consistent results, stick to a single variety of good quality Cards, such as those available from your
ID Card Printer Supplier.
Card size
CR80 (Standard) = 3.375” x 2.125” (86.5 mm x 53.98 mm). (w x h)
Card thickness
Standard – 0.030” (0.76 mm).
Maximum – 0.063” (1.25 mm).
To obtain good quality prints the Cards must be…





Remove the card feed Hopper.
Open the door and remove the film cassette. It may be necessary to turn the upper transfer film
spool clockwise in order to free the film from the card if adhesion has occurred.
Close the door. The printer will perform an initialisation routine and then attempt to eject the card.
If this fails and another card jam error is reported, select the retry option on the LCD and the
printer will perform an alternative card eject routine.
If the card fails to eject and a card jam error is still displayed open the door and inspect the
printer to locate the card position.
If accessible from the card feed area, attempt to retrieve the card by hand.
If this is not possible then use the ‘Move card’ feature which will turn the drive rollers in the
required direction in order to free the card. Important: Using this method the card should be
ejected from the right hand side of the printer (feed Hopper location).
If the card still cannot be retrieved then please contact Technical Support for further assistance.

CARING FOR YOUR PRINTER
MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER IS IMPORTANT!!!

Maintenance is an important factor of your Printer’s good operation and longevity.

Maintaining a regular cleaning routine will give you optimum print quality and prevent down
time. We recommend that you clean the Printer’s rollers and Print Head each time you change
Dye Films.

A clean Printer will produce superior quality printed Cards and is less likely to require Factory
maintenance and/or repair.

In normal environments, regular maintenance should improve the longevity of the Print Head
itself. (Remember… foreign particles can lodge under the Head and cause permanent damage!)

Increased reliability when magnetic encoding.

UPGRADING TO DUO OPERATION
The Retransfer printer can be supplied in two variants: UNO (single-sided) or DUO (double-sided).
All Retransfer printers are fitted as standard with a Card Rotation Unit (however in the UNO, the
Rotation Unit is only used to rotate a Card in order to facilitate magnetic encoding. It is not possible to
print two sides of a Card in one operation. However, the Retransfer printer UNO can be upgraded to a
DUO variant as a retro-fit if required).
The upgrade will be available electronically via the Customer Support Portal and is downloaded to the
Printer via the Driver.

Error Description
While preparing to update the FPGA, the device ID read from the fitted
FPGA was not a recognised one. This is probably either due to a SPI
comms failure between the processor and FPGA, or a faulty FPGA.
While attempting to verify a new firmware upgrade file was successfully
saved to flash memory, the printer failed to allocate enough memory
for the verification process. This may be because there are a large
number of pending jobs in the printer's memory.
While processing an incoming capability upgrade file, the printer was
unable to write the new file to the SD card. This may be because the SD
card is not plugged in correctly, or the SD card has developed a fault.
While updating the printer's capabilities during boot-up, the printer
failed to save the printer's identity information to the SD card. This may
be because the SD card is not plugged in correctly, or the SD card has
developed a fault.
While processing a HoloKote file, the printer detected that the file data
was not of the correct format. This may be because the wrong file was
sent, the file has become corrupted, or there was an error in the
software which produced the file.
While attempting to retrieve a HoloKote file from the SD card, the
printer was unable to read the SD card data. This is probably because
the slot specified has no HoloKote bitmap installed, but could also be
due to a fault with the SD card hardware.
The printer has been upgraded to Duplex. No Error – Information Only
The printer has had the duplex printing capability removed. No Error –
Information Only
The printer received a mag read job, but the printer has no detectable
mag encoder module fitted. Either the job was sent to the wrong
printer, or the printer has a mag module fitted which cannot be
detected due to a hardware fault, or the printer has been set up as the
wrong model.
While trying to feed a new card from the input hopper to the point
where it blocks the feed sensor, it took too many attempts to extract a
card. This could be because the hopper was empty, or the card feed
ReTransfer ID Card Printer – User Manual
motor was not functioning correctly, or the feed opto sensor was faulty.

While feeding a new card from the hopper, and having already
extracted the card far enough for it to block the feed sensor, the printer
tried to feed the card further forwards to block the print position
sensor. However, it took too long for the print position sensor to
become blocked. This could be because the card was physically
obstructed, or the card drive stepper motor was not functioning
correctly, or the print position sensor was faulty.
While initialising the flipper, the printer attempted to rotate the flipper
clockwise until the flipper opto sensor unblocked, and it took too long
for that sensor to unblock. This is probably due to either a faulty flipper
opto sensor, the flip rotation motor not functioning correctly, or an
obstruction preventing free rotation of the flipper.
The printer was sent a request to move a card, but the selected card
destination was invalid. This may be because the job data was
corrupted in transit, or because the job data was sent by a faulty
application, or because the printer firmware needs to be updated to a
version recognising the given destination.
During a print job, while waiting for the heated roller to reach its target
temperature, it took too long to reach that target.
While carrying out a printer soak test, the printer was unable to lower
the heated roller. This is possibly either because the heated roller cam
opto sensor is faulty, or the cam motor is not functioning correctly, or
the cam was physically obstructed.
During a print job, while just about to print one of the colour planes
onto the transfer film, the printer was unable to move the print roller to
the closed position. This may be because the print roller cam
mechanism has been obstructed, or the cam opto sensor is faulty, or
the cam motor is not functioning correctly.
While attempting to move the dye film to a particular panel, the printer
was unable to find the requested panel. This could be because the film
movement is being obstructed, or there is a problem with one or both
of the film motors, or the dye panel sensor/LED is faulty.
While validating the print options at the start of a print job, the printer
determined that the print job required a colour or security feature that
was not available with the currently fitted dye film. This is probably
because either the wrong type of film is fitted, or the wrong driver
options were selected.

During a print job, while printing onto the transfer film, the printer was
unable to detect the index mark on the transfer film. This may be
because the transfer film is beyond the end-of-film marker tape (i.e. has
run out), or the index sensor needs to be recalibrated, or the index
sensor is faulty, or the film cannot move due to an obstruction or motor
fault.
While attempting to return the mag head to the home position, the
printer first had to clear the head home opto sensor by moving the mag
head a short distance towards the front of the printer. However, the
head took too long to clear the head home opto sensor. This may be
because there was a physical obstruction preventing the head from
moving, or the head stepper motor is not working properly, or the head
opto sensor is faulty.
While attempting to encode a mag card in the forwards direction, the
printer had to wait for the mag head to unblock the head home opto
sensor. However, the head took too long to do so. This may be because
there was a physical obstruction preventing the head from moving, or
the head stepper motor is not working properly, or the head opto
sensor is faulty.
The printer attempted to read data from a mag card in order to verify
an encode operation, but no data was found, not even leading zeroes.
This could mean that the card was loaded in the wrong orientation, the
wrong type of card was used, the mag PCB was faulty, the head stepper
motor was not functioning properly, or the head was physically
obstructed.
The printer was about to start a print job, and detected that the cover
was open. If the cover is not in fact open, it may be that the cover opto
sensor is faulty.
At the start of a print job, the printer determined that the transfer film
currently fitted had run out of prints. A new roll of transfer film should
be fitted before retrying the print job.
At the start of a print job, the printer determined that the dye film
currently fitted had run out of prints. A new roll of dye film should be
fitted before retrying the print job.
At the start of a print job, the printer determined that the dye film and
transfer film currently fitted had both run out of prints. New rolls of film
should be fitted before retrying the print job.
While attempting to calibrate the transfer index LED, the printer found
that the required LED brightness setting was either too low or too high

to be considered trustworthy. This could either be due to a faulty or
incorrectly fitted transfer index sensor or LED PCB. It could also be due
to something physically obscuring the transfer index sensor/LED during
calibration.
While attempting to calibrate the dye film LED, the printer found that
one of the required LED brightness settings was either too low or too
high to be considered trustworthy. This could either be due to a faulty
or incorrectly fitted dye sensor or LED PCB. It could also be due to
something physically obscuring the dye sensor/LED during calibration.
While validating the print options at the start of a print job, the printer
determined that film was required, yet no dye film was fitted. If dye
film is in fact fitted, it may be that the tag reader hardware is faulty, or
that the tag on the dye film is faulty.
While validating the print options at the start of a print job, the printer
determined that film was required, yet no transfer film was fitted. If
transfer film is in fact fitted, it may be that the tag reader hardware is
faulty, or that the tags on the transfer film is faulty.
The printer was requested to carry out a printer soak test, but detected
that film was fitted. All film should be removed before retrying the soak
test.
While initialising the print engine, the printer was unable to detect
either of the film RFID tags. This is possibly because neither roll of film
is fitted, or there is a problem with the RFID reader hardware.
During a print job, while waiting for the Printhead to reach its target
temperature, it took too long to reach that target.
While processing a newly-inserted soak test dongle, the printer failed to
open the dongle. This may be because the dongle was programmed
incorrectly, was the wrong dongle, was corrupted, or was faulty. It may
also be because the firmware needs to be updated to support the data
format.
While attempting to update the printer's partner code, the printer was
unable to save the updated identity information onto the SD card. This
is probably because the SD card is either not fitted correctly, not
programmed correctly, or faulty.
During boot-up initialisation, the printer's internal SD card failed the
authentication check. This may be because the SD card was not
programmed correctly, or was faulty.
While processing a request to reset the printer's partner code to 0 using
a partner code dongle, the printer found that the dongle's partner code
36

did not match that of the printer. Therefore, the request was denied.

While processing a partner code dongle, the printer found that the
dongle's partner code was 0, which is not allowed. This may be because
the dongle is corrupt.
While preparing to print a demo card, the printer was unable to load
the image data from the selected card's PRN file on the SD card. This is
possibly because the SD card is either not programmed properly, or
faulty.
During printer boot-up initialisation, while attempting to check whether
the printer needed to be cleaned, the printer determined that cleaning
was overdue. This error message is a prompt to the user to carry out
the cleaning routine.
During printer boot-up initialisation, while attempting to check whether
printer calibration was required, the printer determined that calibration
had not yet been performed. This error message is a prompt to the user
to carry out the automatic calibration and soak test.
The printer was requested to carry out a printer soak test, but detected
that the heated roller was too hot (above 60 degrees Celsius). The
printer should be switched off and allowed to cool, and then switched
on without film fitted before retrying the soak test.
At the start of a roller cleaning routine, the printer was waiting for the
cleaning card to be inserted into the print engine. However, it took too
long for the cleaning card's leading edge to be detected at the print
position opto sensor. This is probably because the cleaning card was
not inserted, but if not then it could be that either the feed motor or
card drive motor was not functioning correctly, or the print position
opto sensor was faulty.
At the start of a roller cleaning routine, and having already detected
what should have been a cleaning card being inserted, the printer
determined that the inserted card was shorter than expected and
therefore probably not actually a proper roller cleaning card. This is
probably because the wrong sort of card was inserted, or the card input
hopper was not removed before initiating the cleaning cycle.
At the start of a roller cleaning routine, and having already detected
that a cleaning card had been inserted, the printer was waiting for the
cleaning card's leading edge to reach the eject opto sensor. However, it
took too long for the eject sensor to become blocked. This is possibly
37
ReTransfer ID Card Printer – User Manual
due to either the cleaning card was obstructed, or a faulty eject sensor.

While performing a roller cleaning cycle, and having already fed in a
roller cleaning card as far as the flipper rollers and fed it back again to
the point where the print position opto sensor was unblocked, it took
too long for the feed opto sensor to become unblocked. This probably
means that the cleaning card has become jammed, perhaps due to a
physical obstruction or because the card is slipping on the rollers.
While attempting to retrieve a HoloKote file from the SD card, the
printer found that an invalid parameter was supplied for selecting how
the bitmap should be rotated. This indicates a bug in the firmware.
In the firmware module which controls the heated roller temperature,
the printer detected that the heated roller temperature was above the
maximum permitted level. This is either due to a fault in the control
software, or a problem with the temperature measurement hardware.
In the firmware module which controls the Printhead temperature, the
printer detected that the Printhead temperature was above the
maximum permitted level. This is either due to a fault in the control
software, or a problem with the temperature measurement hardware.
In the firmware module which controls the heated roller temperature,
the temperature sensor alarm was triggered and the temperatures
sensor was reporting an unusually low temperature. This is almost
always because the temperature sensor is not connected properly.
In the firmware module which controls the Printhead temperature, the
temperature sensor was reporting an unusually low temperature. This
is almost always because the Printhead is not connected properly.
