Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Zebra P630i or P640i Card Printer. This manual guides you to
efficient start up and operation of your new Card Printer.
The Zebra P630i and P640i Card Printers provide high speed, full color dual-sided card
printing. A micro-positioning card transport system provides enhanced color photos. A range
of interface, encoder/reader, and security options allow ordering the specific configuration
suitable for a particular application.
The difference between the P630i and the P640i is that the P630i has a single-sided
laminator (i.e., it lays down and seals a laminating film on the top surface of the
printed card), while the P640i has a dual-sided laminator (i.e., it lays down and seals
laminating film on both surfaces of the printed card).
References in this document that refer to either or both of the models will be in the form of
“the printer” or “the P630i/P640i Printer”; references that are specific to one or the other will
be in the form of “the P630i Printer” or “the P640i Printer.”

Introduction
Controls and Indicators
PRINT Button
Press the PRINT button to print the image stored in the printer’s memory. When the printer is
powered up, the memory is loaded with a checkerboard test pattern.
In regular on-line use, the PRINT button reprints the last image downloaded from the
computer to the buffer memory. If you hold the PRINT button down and power up the printer,
the Ribbon Synchronization feature (which normally forces a ribbon synchronization
whenever the door is closed or the printer is powered up) is disabled.
If you press and hold the PRINT button for more than two seconds, the printer will
continuously reprint the image in the buffer. Stop this action by pressing the button
momentarily while printing is in process
Note that pressing the PRINT button will have no effect if any of the following applies:
980541-003 Rev. B
•
An error condition exists
•
You have set up the print driver to print color on both sides of the card
•
The optional hardware lockout key, ID/Key, is missing (but this does not disable the
checkerboard printout available after power-up).

RIBBON Button
This button is used to synchronize the ribbon – in other words, to position it correctly under
the print head. If you hold the RIBBON button down and power up the printer, it toggles on/off
the Ribbon Synchronization feature when the door is closed.
In standard applications, the ribbon type is YMCK, and the back of the card is printed first. In
such cases, pressing the RIBBON button will advance the color ribbon to bring the leading
edge of the next black panel under the print head.
If back side printing is not enabled, the printer will synchronize on the next yellow panel when
the RIBBON button is pressed.
LAMINATE Button
(For the P640i Printer, this applies to the Upper and Lower Laminator; the P630i Printer has
only the Upper Laminator.)
If either (or both) of the laminate transfer rollers is not loaded with a laminate patch, then
pressing the LAMINATE button will correct the condition, provided the cassette is not out of
laminate, and if the cassette latch is closed (locked).
If both transfer rollers are already loaded, the LAMINATE button has no effect.
If you hold the LAMINATE button down and power up the printer, it toggles on/off the
Ribbon Synchronization feature when the printer is powered up.
A standard use of the LAMINATE button is in reloading a transfer roller after removing the
first hand-cut patch of laminate following installation of a fresh roll.
