Reviewing the HDP600 Sequence of Operations

The following sequence describes a dual sided full color print job with magnetic encoding.

(Note: The HDP625/625-LC Printers have two (2) Card Input Hoppers that load 100 cards in each Hopper.)

The File information is received from the PC.

The Heater warms up and/or maintains the heat on the hot Roller using the Thermocouple to help maintain the desired temp.

The DC Motor and Stepper Motor turn ON and run until a card is seen by the card Sensor, which will cause the Card Input Motor to stop.

The Stepper will continue to run a certain number of steps to position the card on the Flipper Table. All stop. Card Low Sensor will check for cards in Input Hopper.

Stepper will turn ON, causing the Flipper to turn to the magnetic angular position. The Flag Sensor and counted steps are used to determine the angular position. All stop.

Stepper will engage to drive the card past the Mag Card Sensor and the Mag Head.

Stepper engages to drive the card to a centered position on the Flipper Table using the Mag Card Sensor and a step count. All stop.

Stepper will turn ON, causing the Flipper to turn to the default (flat) position. The Flat Sensor and counted steps are used to determine the angular position. All stop.

Steppers engage to move the card OFF the Flipper and to a position near the hot Roller, using Card Feed Sensors and a step count. All stop.

The Ribbon Drives turn ON and move until the correct panel is found by the Print Ribbon Sensor array (5 reflective). All stop. (Note: The Print Ribbon Encoder is active during this step.)

This step occurs simultaneously with Step 10 (below).

The Film Drives turn ON until the Film is positioned with the Film Print Alignment Sensor. (Note: This is the closest Sensor to the Transfer Rollers.)

All stop. (Note: The Film Ribbon Encoder is active during this step.)

The Headlift Motor engages, moving the Printhead down until Headlift Sensor is activated. All stop.
