Duplex Mode must be selected if requiring to print both on the front and the back of the
card. It must be deselected if the doument is a single page.
Manual Flip Mode does not apply to the Sprinter Flip model. This mode is used when cards
are turned over manually and reinserted, after printing the top. Used only for non-Flip
models.
Print Back Side Only enables the user to flip the card and print on the back if magnetic
encoding is also required
Hand Fed Mode enables the operator to feed the card via the front and will prevent cards
from being fed from the hopper.
Magnetic Encoding Only Prevents the card from being printed
The Power value (default 50) allows the user to adjust the density of the YMC, resin black
and the Overcoat panel if required. On earlier models, leave set at 50. (The printer will enter
a Fault mode if Resin Power is changed from 50.)

(For example the "O" in "YMCKO" dye film). The default settings are for complete coverage
to the card margins. For MAGICARD 300 it is 0,36,947,631 and for MAGICARD 300 plus it is
0,0,985,641. The four numbers are the X and Y coordinates of the bottom left and top right
corners of each area.

Verifying Computer to Printer
Communication in WINDOWS
K
The simplest way to verify correct operation is to
print a test image from a WINDOWS application:
• Ensure that the Printer is switched ON and that the POWER ON and ON LINE indicators
are lit.
• Run a WINDOWS application (badge-making, desk-top publishing or image processing)
on your PC, with a suitable image or artwork.
• Ensure that the PrintMagic MAGICARD Printer is the default printer.
• Ensure that the printer cable is connected from the PC to the printer.
• Print the document, by selecting Print from the File menu.
• If the test image - or part of it - prints, the installation is complete and verified.

Difficulty
Check the Installation:
• Repeat the Installation Steps in this Guide.
• Check that the Printer is selected to the correct mains voltage.
• Check that all cables are correctly connected.
• Check the Printer Setup in the WINDOWS Driver.
• Check the dye film and cards are correctly loaded.
• See what happens in the PrintMagic print manager (the icon appears on the Desktop
during printing and the print status can be checked).
• Does the PrintMagic DeSpooler window appear on the application, and clear after
downloading the image to the printer, or does a red cross appear?
• Does the ON LINE indicator flash during image downloading to the printer?
• If the printer error indicators come on, which ones, and what is the flashing code?
• Does the printer need cleaning? (Refer to the Section on this page)

Important Cleaning
Procedures
M
It is very important that the MagiCard Printer be cleaned at regular intervals in
accordance with these instructions. Cleaning Cards and a Cleaning Pen are
included with every printer shipped
Thermal Printhead Cleaning
It is recommended that the Thermal Printhead be cleaned after every roll of dye film, i.e.
after every 250 cards printed.
CAUTION Failure to clean the Thermal Printhead after every roll of dye film can result
in the build up of residues which cause white lines and streaks in the printed image.
The Thermal Printhead is a fragile and expensive item. Care should be taken to avoid
damage to the printing surface at its lower edge. The surface of the Thermal Printhead
should not be touched with the fingers and under no circumstances should any hard,
sharp or abrasive materials be allowed to contact it.
WARNING The recommended cleaning materials are inflammable. Clean the Thermal
Printhead in a well-ventilated area and avoid naked flames. Extinguish any cigarettes.
Clean the Thermal Printhead as follows:
1. Switch the printer OFF and isolate from the mains power supply.
WARNING The MagiCard Printer contains potentially lethal voltages.
2. Hinge down the Pull-down Card Tray.
3. Hinge down the mechanism front cover and lift up the Top Cover to the vertical, as
illustrated.

Quick Start Guide
Ultra Electronics Card Systems
4. Whilst changing the dye film, and with the dye film removed, gently wipe the tip of the
Thermal Printhead, using a gentle side-to-side action, with the Felt Tip Cleaning Pen
supplied.
5. Using a tissue, remove any deposits from the pen tip and replace the pen cap to avoid
solvent evaporation. Allow the solvent to evaporate fully from the printhead before
proceeding to fit the new roll of dye film.
Cleaning the Tacky Roller
NOTE - It is very important that these Cleaning Instructions are adhered to in order to
maintain the MagiCard print quality.
A Tacky Roller is located between the Cassette and the upper brushstrip. Its purpose is to
pick up loose debris, fibres and particles from the upper surface of each card which would
otherwise cause a blemish on the finished printed card. Depending on the type of cards used
it is recommended that the Tacky Roller is cleaned each time the Card Cassette is filled, to
recover its stickiness. Clean the Tacky Roller using a piece of Scotch adhesive tape. Refer
to Section E to see how to remove the Tacky Roller.
Cleaning the Rubber Rollers
It is recommended that the Rubber Rollers in the transport mechanism be cleaned after
every 1000 cards printed, using the recommended solvent-impregnated Cleaning Card as
follows:
CAUTION: Failure to clean the Rubber Rollers may result in mis-registration of images
and problems in feeding cards out of the Cassette.
WARNING The recommended cleaning materials are inflammable. Clean the Thermal
Printhead in a well-ventilated area and avoid naked flames. Extinguish any cigarettes.

Quick Start Guide
1. Hinge down the Pull-down Card Tray. Hinge down the Front Cover and lift up the Top
Cover to the vertical position, and remove the Cassette. Switch ON the power supply.
2. Get the motor to turn the rollers by operating the Cover Microswitch in the hinged cover,
by hand. Allow the motors to achieve full operating speed before applying the Cleaning
Card to the rollers, otherwise the motors will stall and the rollers fail to turn.
3. Clean the Front Rubber Drive Roller every 1000 cards printed or if mis-registration occurs.
Open a fresh solvent impregnated Cleaning Card and clean the Front Rubber Drive Roller
by inserting the Cleaning Card from the front with the impregnated side faced down, with
the rollers turning so that the roller turns against the Cleaning Card as shown in Position
A.
4. Clean the Printhead Roller, normally positioned beneath the Thermal Printhead, by
applying the Cleaning Card (with the impregnated side faced down) to the visible surfaces
of the Printhead Roller so that the roller turns against the Cleaning Card as shown in
Position D.
NOTE Discard the Cleaning Card when it has dried out. One or two cards should be
sufficient to carry out these instructions.
5. Clean the Rear Rubber Drive Roller by inserting the Cleaning Card with the impregnated
side faced down, from the rear with the rollers turning (ie, beneath the Card Preventer
and the Sticky Roller) so that the lower roller turns against the Cleaning Card as shown in
Position E.
6. Clean the Card Feed Rollers every 1000 cards printed or if problems occur with cards
feeding from the Cassette. Using the Cleaning Card clean the two Card Feed Rollers.
One is normally beneath the Card Cassette and the other is close to theSticky Roller.
These rollers are geared together and cannot be turned by operating the Cover
Microswitch as above. Turn one Card Feed Roller by hand whilst applying the Cleaning
Card, with the impregnated side faced down, to the other Card Feed Roller. Repeat the
cleaning process for the other Card Feed Roller as shown in Positions B and C.

Ultra Electronics Card Systems
Cleaning the Optics
1. Using a small, soft lens brush, gently remove dust and debris from the visible mechanism
and the brushstrips. Ensure the two light emitting diodes (LED's) adjacent to the Thermal
Printhead, are clean and not obscured.
2. Check that the two apertures to the two optical sensors (one is 3mm diameter, the other
is a fine slit in a stainless steel strip) are not obscured by debris.
Cleaning the Magnetic Head (if fitted)
1. The Magnetic Head is located beneath the card, between the thermal printhead and the
front pinch rollers. To clean the Magnetic Head, manually insert the Cleaning Card into
the mechanism and withdraw several times until the head is clean.
CAUTION Take great care not to scratch the surface of the magnetic head with any
sharp or abrasive material.
