Users Guide for the Magna Class Printer
You can verify that the printer is working correctly by making a
printer test card. See Making and evaluating test cards on
page 2-29 for more information.
Status light
The status light indicates that the printer is processing data, ready to
receive data, or in an error condition.
When the status light is steady green, the printer is on and ready
to print cards.
When the status light blinks green, the printer is receiving data
from the PC, is printing, or is paused.
When the status light blinks yellow, the printer has identified a
problem and stopped.
The status light can turn red on rare occasions. If this happens,
contact your service provider promptly for assistance.
Top cover support
The top cover support holds the top cover in the open position while
you perform tasks with the printer, such as changing the print ribbon
or optional overlay material, or clearing a card jam. Use the top cover
support whenever you work inside the printer.
Inside the printer
Duplex module
On all M2 and M2L printer models, this area contains the duplex
mechanism, which turns the card over for printing on both sides or
applying overlay on both sides.
Manual card feed knob
The manual card feed knob turns to move a card along the card
transport track. Use it to release stuck cards in the print module.
