Handling of transfer film,  
ink ribbons and cards  
This card printer allows printing of high-quality, full  
color images equivalent to photographic quality onto  
standard size (ISO 7810 compliance) plastic cards  
using sublimation type transfer printing.  
Handling  
Take note of the following points when handling print  
media (retransfer film and ink ribbons) and cards.  
Use of sublimation type retransfer printing enables  
printing of cards other than those made of PVC and  
non-contact IC cards, etc. with uneven surfaces that  
were previously difficult to print directly.  
• Use of bent or damaged cards may result in card feed  
error.  
• Do not touch the print media or the printed surface of  
cards directly with the hands as this may cause blurring  
of the print.  
Some card materials may not be suitable for printing. Consult  
your dealer regarding the materials to be used and  
specifications required before purchase.

mode.  
This printer can automatically discern what type of ink  
ribbon is installed by means of RF-ID tag built inside.  
• When replacing or replenishing print media or cards  
that have been stored at low temperature, let the print  
media or cards sit for at least one hour at the same  
temperature as location where the printer is to be used

Caution when loading the retransfer film  
cassette and/or the ink ribbon cassette  
Setting cards  
Please use cards specified by your dealer. This unit can  
take both 0.76 mm(0.03inches)-thick and 0.25 mm  
(0.01inches)-thick cards. The factory setting is for 0.76  
mm-thickness.  
The following caution shall be kept when the retransfer  
film cassette and/or the ink ribbon cassette is removed  
because of card jam or other trouble.  
Please pay enough attention so that the retransfer film  
and/or ink ribbon is maintained at the right position.  
Particularly, the ink ribbon is extremely thin, therefore it  
apt to slip down when the cassette is removed as  
shown in the illustration.  
Fingerprints, soiling, etc. on card surface can result in  
print errors. Wear lint-free gloves when handling.  
Improper Winding  
Inserting cards  
The unit can take about 300 0.76mm-thick cards.  
As for 0.25mm thick cards do not insert more than 300  
pieces.  
This 300 pieces is not a guaranteed quantity.  
In the event of card feed failure, caused by card bending or  
others reduce card quantity.  
When removing new cards from the  
box, it is possible that cards may be stuck due to static  
electricity. In this case, peel the cards off one at a time  
before setting into position. Hold the edges of the card  
when carrying out these operations.  
Adjust the position with hands so  
that the media position of take-up  
side and supply side becomes parallel  
When loaded in this condition, it may cause improper  
printing such as INK RUNOUT error, improper color  
printing etc.  
To avoid this, please handle the ink ribbon and/or the  
retransfer film very carefully with hands so that the  
media position of take-up side become parallel.  
Please do not touch the print side of the ink ribbon and/  
or the retransfer film with your hands. Otherwise, it may  
cause improper printing.  
1.  
Open the card tray.  
Hold the lower part of the card tray and pull the tray  
toward you slowly until it no longer moves.  
When adjusting the print position of the retransfer film  
and/or ink ribbon, please follow the instruction label  
attached on the cassettes.

moves.  
3.  
Insert the cards and move the bracket back into  
position.  
Limit the number of cards as the card bracket moves  
back slightly from the lock position.  
Setting the cards improperly can  
cause feed jams. Check that the cards are neatly  
arranged.  
To print pre-printed cards on this  
printer, determine print layout, color tone and card  
inserting direction by in advance consulting your  
dealer.  
Align the cards  
neatly with the  
side  
Especially for card pre-printed in a dark color such  
as black, card positioning error may happen.  
And for a magnetic or IC card, encoding error may  
happen.  
Be sure that the  
tops of the cards  
are aligned  
properly  
When handling cards, avoid dusty  
environment and use the attached gloves.  
Dusty cards such as those finger marked may cause  
improper printing.  
Consult your dealer to purchase new gloves.  
When moving the card bracket  
back into position, do this slowly to avoid jamming  
your fingers. Leaving the card bracket out of position  
may cause card jams.

Please set ON normally in this mode. When the printer  
is set ON in this mode, the printer will become standby  
at low temperature of the retransfer heat roller after no  
printing motion for 30 minutes and over. The  
temperature of the heat roller will automatically get an  
original setting when next card printing command  
received. For that reason, it takes long time for 1st card  
compared with normal printing.  
 In the case of UV print, MAC address must be printed at the

Careandcleaning  
Always make sure that the printer is turned off before cleaning.  
(However, cleaning of the card feed rollers and magnetic head should be carried out with the power turned on.)  
To achieve the best performance from the printer, always check each part before use for dust and dirt and clean if necessary.  
The following explains the main rollers that require cleaning. For details about other rollers, see p.45 (Internal roller layout).  
Dust and dirt, particularly on the thermal head, rollers and cleaning rollers can cause print blurs and shifting of colors.  
Cleaning the cleaning rollers  
The cleaning rollers remove dust and dirt sticking to the card.  
3.  
Wash the rollers of the cleaning unit with water.  
Cleaning the cleaning rollers after every use is recommended  
if the printer is used almost everyday. Depending on the  
cards, there may be much dust and dirt. In such a case,  
perform cleaning every 100 to 200 cards. Do not do this,  
however, during printing operations.  
Wash out dirt on the roller surface with your fingers.  
Do not use alcohol or detergents. The cleaning unit  
should be cleaned only with running water.

water, wait until it completely dries up and set it in the  
printer.  
4.  
Push the cleaning unit back into the printer.  
Push the cleaning unit with the rollers facing upward  
until it is securely back into the place.  
5.  
Close the card tray.  
Deteriorated cleaning rollers may  
cause defects in the printed card. If the rollers begin to  
deteriorate, replace the cleaning unit.  
(We recommend replacement after a year)  
When you remove the cleaning unit,  
be careful not to injure your fingers by inner mechanism.

Cleaning the thermal head  
Cleaning the fan filter  
When the thermal head gets dirty, defects such as  
unwanted lines appearing on the printed card may  
occur. It is recommended to clean the thermal head  
after printing about 10,000 frames. The thermal head is  
a consumable component, that is, it has a limited  
service life.  
When the fan filter gets dirty, partial omissions may  
occur on the printed cards, or the printing result looks  
dirty. It is recommended to clean the fan filter after  
printing about 10,000 cards.

Troubleshooting(continued)  
Stopping when printing  
About printing errors  
The printer may stop with no error messages If some  
failure with the connection to the host computer occur  
or the not proper ink ribbon is set.  
In this case, open and close the printer door at once,  
and then press “reset” and press “enter” to initialize the  
printer.  
If blurring or color shifts occur in your print results, clean  
all rollers starting with the cleaning rollers.  
Some image errors may depend on the design of the  
card to print.  
In particular, wrinkles can easily occur if large surfaces  
are printed with high density ink.  
To avoid such problems, contact the dealer where the  
printer was purchased concerning card designs.  
Mending broken ink ribbon and  
retransfer film  
When retransfer operation is not complete  
Depending on the cards used, retransfer operation may  
not be complete. In that case, try the following items.  
(See Page 33, “Retransfer mode setting”)  
1. Try to increase the retransfer temperature.  
2. Try to decrease the retransfer speed. For the reverse  
side of the card, try to decrease the reverse retransfer  
speed.  
3. Dust on the card surface. Use clean cards with no  
dust. Use the attached gloves to avoid finger mark on  
cards.  
If the ink ribbon or retransfer film is broken, mend it in  
the following procedures:  
1.  
2.  
Trim neatly the end of broken portions with a pair  
of scissors.  
Align both ends and apply the Scotch tape in the  
center of the aligned ends.  
4. Ambient temperature  
Please do not discard the used ink ribbon or  
retransfer film on the winding side.  
Retransfer operation may not be complete if the  
temperature of card surface is very low such as the  
card first printed in the cold morning. In that case, wait  
until the room becomes warm enough.  
3.  
Turn the ink ribbon or retransfer film to the winding  
side with your hand until the mended portion is  
completely wound up.  
Align both  
ends evenly  
Caution when printing characters  
When printing small characters or thin lines in black  
ink, the thickness of minimum 2 dots necessary for  
“Standard” mode.  
Printing small characters or thin lines by 1 dot tends to  
cause blurring.  
To avoid this tendency, following settings are  
recommended. See “Ink mode setting” on Page 32.  
1. Set the black value K:  
Winding  
side  
Try to increase setting value to more than 0 (Standard)  
Then darker printing is possible.  
2. Set the K printing mode:  
Change mode from “Standard” to “Fine”.  
Then thicker printing is possible.  
Scotch tape  
If blurring still appears after having tried the above  
setting , selecting more adequate character font is  
recommended.  
Set the ink ribbon and retransfer film  
with care. See p.14 and p.16.
