LED Error
Codes N
The MAGICARD printer has extensive error trapping facilities, to provide the operator or service agent with fault diagnosis information.
ON LINE and ERROR Indicator Flashing
The ON LINE indicator flashing indicates that the printer is receiving and processing a file of image data.
If the ERROR indicator is also illuminated continuously, it indicates that the file of image data is incomplete and that the printer is waiting for the rest. If this need cannot be met (perhaps the PC develops a fault or is reset), then the printer must be rebooted by switching off then on again. Ensure that any files in the Windows Spooler are aborted first.
If the ERROR indicator is also flashing this condition indicates an error in the file downloaded from the PC and the printer must be powered down. To ensure that the error will not repeat after reset, abort the transfer on the PC before resetting the printer by opening and closing the lid.
DYE FILM Indicator On
This indicates that the dye film has run out, the wrong film has been fitted with respect to the Driver settings or the film is jammed.
MEDIA OUT Indicator On
This indicates either the card hopper is empty or a card is jammed in the mechanism.
MEDIA OUT Indicator Flashing
