Electrostatic Discharge Caution • A static discharge is possible if you touch any exposed metal parts. Use of an anti-static wrist strap or comparable anti-static protection is required. 4. Gently press the print head carriage down until it is fully lowered, as shown below. Very little force is neccessary to perform this step. Dual-Sid ed Colo Dual-Sid ed Colo Note • During normal operation (with power connected and turned on), the ribbon would automatically synchronize when the Print Head is restored to its fully-down position. The ribbon would be identified and the corresponding parameters sent to the driver. Since power is not connected at this point in the Installation and Setup Procedure, nothing will happen when the Print Head Carriage is closed. The ribbon will synchronize when power is turned on. 980470-001 Rev. A P430i User’s Manual 13 Installation and Setup Installing the Card Cleaning Cartridge Installing the Card Cleaning Cartridge The Card Cleaning Cartridge cleans the cards entering the printer. The Card Cleaning Cartridge consists of a Cartridge Frame and an Adhesive Roller, which are packed together. 1. Remove the Cartridge Frame and the Adhesive Roller from their packaging. Insert the Adhesive Roller into the Cartridge Frame, as shown below. To avoid contamination, always hold the frame and the roller by the ends. 2. Peel the protective wrapper from the Adhesive Roller. 3. If the printer’s Main Lid is closed, open it.

A P430i User’s Manual 15 Installation and Setup Setting the Card Thickness Control Setting the Card Thickness Control The Card Thickness Control is set by the user to adjust the gap as cards enter the printer, to prevent double-feeds (which could cause a jam) or mis-feeds. Note • Set the Card Thickness Control before loading cards. 1. Open the Card Feeder cover. The cover is hinged; lift it by the lip at the right front corner. Note • To reduce contamination and ensure better print quality, minimize the time the Card Feeder cover is open. ided Dual-S or Col 2. The Card Thickness Control Lever is at the front of the left-side opening of the Card Feeder area. Card Thickness Control Dual-Sid ed Colo 16 P430i User’s Manual 980470-001 Rev. A Installation and Setup Setting the Card Thickness Control 3. There are four detents to set the position of the Card Thickness Control. Slide the Card Thickness Control to the position corresponding to the following: Detent Position Card Thickness Highest 50 mil (1.27 mm) to 60 mil (1.52 mm) 3rd position 30 mil (0.76 mm) to 50 mil (1.27 mm) 2nd position 20 mil (0.51 mm) to 40 mil (1.02 mm) Lowest 10 mil (0.25 mm) to 20 mil (0.51 mm) Note • The overlap in settings above accomodates variations in environmental conditions (especially humidity) and cards from different manufacturers. In general, start at the lowest position and move the lever up until cards feed reliably. Note • “60 mil” (“1.524 mm”) cards may have a significant variation (over 10%) in the actual thickness of the cards; do not use these cards unless each card has been measured to have a thickness less than 66 mil (1.676 mm). 980470-001 Rev. A P430i User’s Manual 17 Installation and Setup Loading Cards Loading Cards This section shows how to load plastic cards into the P430i Printer. The P430i can use cards with a range of thickness from 10 mil (0.25 mm) to 60 mil (1.5 mm). Note • Do not mix cards of different thicknesses! The P430i Printer can also load and print cards fed individually. Information on this is given in the next chapter. Note • DO NOT bend cards or touch print surfaces as this can reduce print quality. The surface of the cards must remain clean and dust free. Always store cards in an enclosed container. Ideally, use cards as soon as possible. Note • For cards with magnetic stripe, refer to Appendix A for loading instructions. The plastic cards generally come in decks of 100 cards; the Card Feeder can hold a full deck of 100 30-mil cards. Cards sometimes will stick together; this can cause mis-feeding or double-feeding. To avoid this, separate the cards before loading, as described in steps 2 through 4 below. 1. If the Card Feeder cover is closed, open it. The cover is hinged; lift it by the lip at the right front corner. Note • To reduce contamination and ensure better print quality, minimize the time the Card Feeder cover is open. ded l-Si Dua or Col Dual-Side d Colo Caution • Do not touch print surfaces of the cards; this can reduce print quality 18 P430i User’s Manual 980470-001 Rev. A Installation and Setup Loading Cards 2. Remove all wrapping from the card deck. 3. Holding the card deck by the sides, hold it vertically against a flat surface such as a desktop. If the deck is too thick for your hand to hold it comfortably, use about half a deck at a time. 4. Push the stack back and forth to an angle of about 45° from vertical, so as to separate all of the cards. Note • Static charges and edge burrs from the card die-cutting process can render individual cards stuck together with significant adhesion force. These cards must be physically separated from each other before inserting into the feeder; if not separated, feeding or printing problems may occur. 5. Restore the card stack to its original squared-off condition, and place the cards in the input hopper. 6. Note that there will be a “gap” in the card stack, with several cards lying flat and the cards above angled upward, as shown in the exaggerated drawing below. This is normal and ensures proper feeding. Note • Do not try to eliminate the gap by pressing down on the card stack in the input hopper; this can cause misfeeds. 980470-001 Rev. A P430i User’s Manual 19 Installation and Setup Card Output Hopper Card Output Hopper The card output hopper is normally extended to receive the printed cards. The printer may be operated with the card output hopper in its closed position; in this case the cards will not be collected in the output hopper. 1. Pull the card output hopper out to place it in its functional position. Note • The output hopper is a very snug fit to prevent it from moving during shipping or operation; firm force is required to change its position. ded l-Si Dua or Col ided Dual-S or Col 2. When not using the printer, slide the card output hopper back into its closed position to protect the printer from dust and protect the output hopper from damage. 3. The output hopper can be completely removed from the printer if necessary by inserting a thin, blunt object (such as a pencil) up through the hole in the bottom of the printer enclosure and pressing (up) to release the hopper while simultaneously pulling the hopper out. To re-install the output hopper, simply slide the output hopper in until it locks in place. 20 P430i User’s Manual 980470-001 Rev. A Installation and Setup Connecting the Printer to your Computer Connecting the Printer to your Computer The P430i Printer includes a standard USB interface. As an option, the printer can be ordered with a 10/100base-T Ethernet Adapter (in addition to the USB interface). The Ethernet Adapter can also be ordered as an add-on option and installed in the field by a Zebra factory certified technician. 1. If using the USB interface, use the supplied USB cable to connect between the USB connector on the printer and a USB port on the computer, as shown below. (Note that the figure below shows the optional Ethernet Adapter directly above the USB Connector; this may not be present on your printer.) (Optional) Ethernet Connector Power Switch Power Connector USB Connector 2. If your printer includes the optional Ethernet Adapter as well as the standard USB connection, use either the supplied USB cable or a standard Ethernet cable to connect the printer to a corresponding port on the computer or network. Important • Do not use both USB and Ethernet connections at the same time! Important • Intermittent or unpredictable operation may occur from unsecured connectors. If damaged, the power cable must be replaced by an exact equivalent. 980470-001 Rev. A P430i User’s Manual 21 Installation and Setup Connecting Power Connecting Power The P430i Printer includes an internal AC power supply that accepts nominal input voltage in the range from 110 to 230 volts at 50 to 60 Hertz. The power source must be grounded. Depending on specific model number, your P430i Printer will include one or two power cords; use the one that is appropriate for the AC power source connection at your location. If neither has an appropriate connector, AC power cords may be purchased locally; make sure it is a three-wire (grounded) cord. Power Switch Power Connector 1. Place the Printer’s power switch in the OFF ( O ) position. 2. Depending on your local AC voltage, plug the appropriate power cord into the printer’s power connector and a grounded AC power source connection. Caution • If the power cord appears damaged in any way, or if the power cord will not securely plug into the Printer’s power connector or the AC power source connection, STOP! Use of a damaged or incorrect power cord could cause equipment damage, result in an electrical fire, or possibly cause injury. 3. To turn the Printer on, set the Printer’s power switch to the ON ( | ) position. 22 P430i User’s Manual 980470-001 Rev. A
