Operating the Printer

Select this value when cleaning the card feed roller or heating roller.

Select this value when cleaning the magnetic head.

Displays the ink ribbon type.

Set according to the type of retransfer film.

Set according to the thickness of the card.
Standard: Supports card thickness of 0.76 mm
Thin: Supports card thickness of 0.25 mm

For setting the YMC (color) density level.
Selecting a larger value increases the density level.

For setting the K (black) density level.
Selecting a larger value increases the density level.

For setting the printing mode for the K (black) component.

If the characters still appear faded after raising the [Black Level], set to [Fine]. However, printing time required will be longer than the [Standard] setting.

For setting the UV ink density level.
Selecting a larger value increases the density level.
During UV printing, card bend may increase if the card has a low heat resistance or in an environment with high temperature.

For setting the density level of the peel-off ink.
Selecting a larger value increases the density level.

For setting the retransfer heating roller temperature.
Selecting a larger value increases the temperature.
Retransfer may fail depending on the card used. If retransfer fails, raise the setting to the next higher value.
A higher retransfer heating roller temperature helps to enhance the card retransfer performance, but the stronger heat may cause the card to deform more.
If the printer is not reset after changing the temperature setting, temperature is adjusted after the printing operation starts.

For setting the front side retransfer speed.
Selecting a larger value increases the speed.
Retransfer may not be successful on some parts of the card depending on the card used. Lowering the setting value helps to enhance the retransfer performance, but the stronger heat may cause the card to deform more.

For setting the retransfer speed of the second panel on the front side during UV ink printing of retransfer films in two panels. Selecting a larger value increases the speed.

For setting the back side retransfer speed.
Selecting a larger value increases the speed.
Some types of cards may bend during double-sided printing. If card bend occurs, raise the back side retransfer speed to one level higher than the front side retransfer speed setting.

For setting the retransfer speed of the second panel on the back side during UV ink printing of retransfer films in two panels. Selecting a larger value increases the speed.

For setting the method for peeling the retransfer film.
Retransfer at areas close to the magnetic stripe may not be performed correctly for some card types. When a magnetic stripe card is used, this problem may be remedied by setting to [MG Stripe].

During double-sided printing by connecting to a laminator, retransfer remains in the standby state until the laminator is in the [Ready] mode. Select whether to standby using the front or back side.

For setting the time interval for cooling the card before performing retransfer on the back side during double-sided printing. Setting this to [On] may help to reduce card bend.

For setting the bend remedy heating roller temperature.
Selecting a larger value increases the temperature.
If the printer is not reset after changing the temperature setting, temperature is adjusted after the printing operation starts.

For setting the bend remedy speed.
Selecting a larger value increases the speed.

For setting the time for the Power Saving mode.

While in the [Ready] mode, if the printer is not operated for a specific time interval, the retransfer heating roller, bend remedy heating roller, and backlight of the operation panel will turn off automatically to save power.
While in the Power Saving mode, [Sleeping..] is displayed.
To cancel the setting temporarily using the operation panel, press to reset the printer.

For setting whether to standby the printer by lowering the retransfer heating roller temperature if cards are not printed for 30 minutes or longer.
The printer will automatically be restored to the original mode during the next card printing, but it may take a longer time before the first card is printed. Set this to [On] during normal use.

For setting whether to sound the buzzer when an error occurs or when settings are changed.

For setting the printer’s unit number according to the USB environment.

Displays the availability of a magnetic encoder or the type of magnetic encoder used.

Displays the availability of a non-contact IC encoder.

Displays the availability of a contact IC encoder (contact section) or the type of IC encoder used.

Displays the availability of a contact IC R/W.

Displays the availability of a bend remedy unit.

Displays the availability of a card turn over unit.

For setting the coercivity when writing data to an ISO magnetic stripe card.

For setting the maximum number of retries when writing to or reading of the magnetic stripe fails.

For setting the printer name.

For setting the interface.
If the printer is connected via USB interface, the setting switches automatically to USB when initialization starts even if the LAN setting is selected.

For setting IPv4.

For setting IPv6.

For setting the session timeout interval.

Displays the MAC address.

For setting the availability of IPSec.

Displays the method of IPSec authentication.
