Fix a printer problem

1When a message is displayed on the PC, follow the suggested action. Click the Help button (if present) to identify the likely cause of the problem and the possible solution.

2From the help topic, click the “Open the-Guide” link to view a list of procedures. Select the procedure indicated in message help, and follow the procedure provided in the e-Guide to fix the problem.

Most parts of the printer designed to be used by the operator are colored green. These parts include knobs for clearing jams and handles of supply cartridges.

3After fixing the problem, close the cover of the printer.

EIf the printer has a locking card cartidge, lock the cartridge.

4Depending on the situation, the message box might be removed automatically or you might need to respond. Cards still in the printer might be ejected.

The message box can have one or more of these buttons:

–Retry: Clears the card from the printer. The driver sends the card or cards to the printer again. If the problem is corrected, normal operation resumes.

–Cancel: Clears the card from the printer. The card is not sent to print again. If the problem is corrected, normal operation resumes.

–OK: Used for a message that occurs when no card was being printed or an equipment failure. If the problem is corrected, normal operation resumes. (Power cycle the printer if operation does not resume.)

–If the message box disappears automatically, decide whether to return to the card creation application to send the card to print again.
