To prevent card jams from occurring, limit the number of cards
stored in the card hopper at any time to about 100 pieces regardless
of the card thickness.
v
When using new cards, set them after making sure that they are not
adhered to each other due to static.
v
Align the cards before setting them in the printer. Otherwise, the card
hopper cover may not close properly, and this may damage the
printer.

Setting a value toward the top right end increases the transfer force.
However, the stronger heat also increases the deformation of the card.

It is used to set the speed of the retransfer heating roller during
retransfer of the UV ink.
This setting helps to increase the retransfer speed without affecting
the quality of the UV print.
m

Adjust the setting according to the actual environment.
m
YMC ink print level
Print density of the YMC ink.
Use the [+] values to increase, and [-] values to decrease the density.
v
If the retransfer or bend remedy settings are different from the preset
temperature of the printer, it may take a while before printing starts.
v
There is only one standard retransfer temperature. Altering the
retransfer temperature on one side changes the temperature on the
other side.
m
Resin K ink print level
Print density of the Resin K ink.
Use the [+] values to increase, and [-] values to decrease the density.
v
Bend remedy is effective when printing on only one side. Setting
bend remedy to a high temperature during double-sided printing may
cause the card to deform significantly.
m
UV ink print level
Print density of the UV ink.
Use the [+] values to increase, and [-] values to decrease the density.
As such, select the [Disable] button during double-sided printing.
v
When bend remedy is disabled using the [Disable] button, the speed
is automatically set to the maximum value of [+2].
m
Peel off ink print level
Print density of the peel-off ink.
Use the [+] values to increase, and [-] values to decrease the density.
v
The stronger the bend remedy force, the less glossy the surface of
the remedy side will be.
