User’s Guide for the Magna™ Class Printer
Datacard recommends that overlay patches not be applied over
magnetic stripes or signature panels.
Overlay can be applied to contactless (RF) smart cards.
Supply roll storage
Follow these guidelines when storing supply rolls:
•
The print ribbon and overlay supply rolls maintain their quality for
about a year. For optimal card quality, purchase and store
quantities that you can use up in less than a year.
•
The print ribbon, card stock, and overlay supply might require
secure storage and tracking. Follow your policy for storing and
tracking the supplies used to make cards.
•
Select a location away from direct sunlight, with a temperature
between 55° F and 80° F or between 13° C and 27° C. A humidity
range from 20% to 80% (non-condensing) is recommended.
•
Supply rolls should be at room temperature when they are
installed in the printer and used. If supplies are stored in a cooler
environment than the printer, allow supplies to reach room
temperature before using.
•
If the printer will not be used for an extended period of time,
remove supplies from the printer and store them with new
supplies.
