mSetting procedures
vThe vertical axis in the setting area indicates the bend remedy
temperature, and the horizontal axis represents the bend remedy
speed.
vClick on the corresponding square to change the value. The
selected value is indicated by [*].
vSetting a value toward the top right end increases the bend
remedy force. However, the stronger heat may have a greater
impact on the card.
vParts for which the bend remedy force is similar is indicated using
the same color in the setting area.
vTo disable bend remedy, select the [Disable] button. [Disable] is
selected in the default setting.
Cautions:
vThe different colors serve as a rough guide. The optimal value
varies according to the card type as well as the environment in
which the printer is used. Adjust the setting according to the actual
environment.
vBend remedy is effective when printing on only one side.
Performing double-sided printing with a high bend remedy
temperature may cause the card to deform significantly.
As such, select the [Disable] button during double-sided printing.
vWhen the [Disable] radio button is deselected, the printer switches
to and remains in the preheating mode (for approximately 10
minutes) until the bendy remedy heating roller’s temperature has
gone down.
This is not a malfunction. Wait for the printer to switch to the
Ready mode.
vWhen the [Disable] button is selected, the speed is automatically
set to the maximum value of [+2].
vThe stronger the bend remedy force, the less glossy the surface of
the remedy side will be.
