On-Line LED Light

The on/cancel button turns the printer ON and OFF. It also serves to cancel the current print job and reset the printer for the next print job. If a card is left within the printer after a print job is canceled, it will automatically be ejected when the printer is turned back ON.

The on-linebutton takes the printer on and off-line. The printer must have the on-line light illuminated in order to print. When flashing, the on-line light also serves to indicate a print error condition. Such conditions are discussed in Chapter 6 of this manual.

The Card Input Hopper is where blank cards are loaded. See Chapter 3, Section IV for complete instructions on loading cards.

The Card Output Hopper is where printed cards eject. An Attachable Card Output Hopper is included with your printer and serves to catch cards once they have finished printing. To attach this hopper, simply open the Top Cover of the printer and slip it over the edge of the printerÕs baseplate. Once the Top Cover is closed, it will hold the hopper securely in place.

The Top Cover tilts from front-to-back to open and is how you access the inside of the printer to load cards and ribbon. See Chapter 3 for an illustration of how this cover opens as well as for instructions on loading print supplies. Note that the Top

Cover must be shut in order for Quatro to print.
