Identity Cards

Epson GL identity card

Follow these guidelines when using the Epson GL card.

•You must allocate at least 1.5 MByte of RAM for the channel that will use Epson GL mode. This means you need to add at least 0.5 MB of RAM to your printer before you can use GL mode. See “Memory Options” later in this chapter.

•The printer ignores device control commands from optional interfaces even if the interface is serial. Use the printer’s serial interface to enable the additional device control commands.

•The following restrictions apply when you are running the Epson GL mode using Channel S with the AUTOSENSE setting:

-The power-on default channel becomes Channel S

-Channel S cannot receive any data when another channel is receiving data

-You can select Channel S only when the FEED light is off.

•The maximum number of copies you can choose SelecType is

99.

Caring for identity cards

When you use the cards, follow these precautions:

Do not drop, crush, or bend the cards. Their curvature does not affect their operation; do not try to straighten them.

Avoid touching the small gold connectors (contacts) along the card’s edge.

If the card becomes dirty, clean the connectors by wiping the edge with a clean tissue. Do not use water, alcohol, or other solvents to clean it.

Keep the cards in their slip cases and blue antistatic bags when you are not using them.

Do not store cards in direct sunlight or near heat sources. They can withstand temperatures from -30°Cto 65°C (-29°Fto 150°F) and up to 90% humidity.
