RIBBON button

This button is used to synchronize the ribbon – in other words, to position it correctly under the print head.

In typical applications, the ribbon type is YMCK, and the back of the card is printed first. In such cases, pressing the RIBBON button will advance the color ribbon to bring the leading edge of the next black panel under the print head.

If back side printing is not enabled, the printer will synchronize on the next yellow panel when the RIBBON

If either (or both) of the laminate transfer rollers is not loaded with a laminate patch, then pressing the LAMINATE button will correct the condition, provided the cassette(s) is not out of laminate. If both rollers are already loaded, the LAMINATE button has no effect.

A typical use of the LAMINATE button is in reloading a transfer roller after removing the first hand-cut patch of laminate following installation of a fresh roll.
