Adjusting the Print Density
To adjust the Print Density, ensure that there is power to the printer,
the printer is connected to the computer and the printer is on line (Green light
illuminated)
CAUTION
WHEN ADJUSTING THE PRINT DENSITY SETTING IT IS
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT TOO HIGH A SETTING WILL CAUSE
THE DYE FILM TO OVERHEAT AND ADHERE TO THE CARDS AN
EXCESSIVELY HIGH SETTING WILL CAUSE THE DYE FILM TO
MELT.
1. Select the Magicard Support Tool Program from your computer
menu.
2. Using the drop down button on the Communications Window select
the appropriate port.
3. Using the Communications window refresh the data by selecting
the Refresh Data button at the bottom of the window.
4. Select configuration from the tabs at the top of the window.
5. Move the Cursor to the Printhead Density Calibration box, click the
mouse in the box and type in new setting
6. Click the change button.
The Printhead density has now been altered.
Note:
An increase in the number increases the intensity of the colour. As a
datum point the setting should be reasonably close to the resistance setting
shown on the printhead (example R3531) Because of the high numbers it is
advisable to alter the settings in increments of 25 or 50.
