4.Once the cards have been inserted, remove the top card and throw it away if you suspect it has been contaminated with oil from your fingertips. Close the Card Hopper Door. The cards will automatically feed off the top of the stack.

NOTE: The printer’s 100 card capacity is figured using a standard CR-80 3.375”L x 2.125”W x

.030” (85.6mmL x 54.0mmW x .75mm) card size. Please be aware of this when inserting cards of varying thicknesses.

E. RUNNING THE SELF TEST

A self test should now be performed to check for proper operation of the printer. The standard self test function requires only that a full-color ribbon and at least one card is installed. The standard self test function prints onto both sides of a card but does not utilize any of the printer’s ribbon overlay or overlaminate capabilities. Note that if printing with a full-color ribbon with a resin black panel, most rectangles on the back side of the self test card will appear as solid black. A sample of the self test pattern is shown below.

1.If the printer is ON, turn it OFF now by pressing the On/Cancel button. The LED lights should no longer be illuminated. Verify that a full-color ribbon is installed and that cards are properly loaded.

2.Press and hold the Pause/Resume button.

3.While holding the Pause/Resume button down, turn the printer back ON by quickly pressing and releasing the On/Cancel button.

4.Release the Pause/Resume button. The self test will begin printing approximately 5 seconds after the Pause/Resume button has been released.
