Ready LED Light
When ON, this light indicates the printer is ready for operation. When OFF, this light indicates the printer is either OFF or paused and will not operate. If this light is flashing, a printer error has occurred. Refer to the printer’s LCD display for the specific type of error that occurred. See also Section
On/Cancel Button
The On/Cancel button turns the printer power ON and OFF. It also serves to cancel the current print job and reset the printer for the next print job if an unrecoverable print error has occurred. 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. With the Top Cover(s) open, this button can also be used to manually wind the feed rollers forward. This is helpful when cleaning the printer or if clearing jammed media.
Pause/Resume Button
The Pause/Resume button allows you to pause the printer at any time during operation. Please note, however, that the printer will always finish its current task before pausing. For example, if the Pause/Resume button is pressed in the middle of printing the magenta ribbon panel, the printer will pause only after the entire magenta panel has printed. The Ready LED Light will turn OFF when the printer is paused and ON again when operation is resumed. With the Top Cover(s) open, this button can also be used to manually wind the feed rollers backward. This is helpful when cleaning the printer or if clearing jammed media.
Security Card Slot
This is the slot in which a SmartGuard Access Card is inserted if you are using the printer’s optional SmartGuard Security Feature. This unique option prevents the printer from operating unless a custom access card is inserted. It also allows you to print custom SmartShield Security Images which glow under ultraviolet light.
If you have purchased the SmartGuard Security Feature, please refer to the instructions included with it for information on how it is enabled and used. If you have not purchased the SmartGuard feature, you DO NOT need to insert an access card to begin operating your new printer.
