User’s Guide for the Magna™ Class Printer
– Select the print ribbon type before printing a test card.
– If you use a print ribbon with a topcoat (T) panel, select the
topcoat pattern for the front of the card, back of the card, or
both.
– If the printer has an overlay module, select whether to apply
the material to the front of the card, the back of the card, or
both. A duplex module is required to apply overlay to the
back of the card or to both sides of the card.
– If the printer has a magnetic stripe module, select the
magnetic stripe coercivity and encoding format.

Setup tips
Make sure that:
•
The card cartridge is in place and contains cards.
•
The interface cable is connected to the parallel port of the printer
and the ECP parallel port of the PC.
•
If the PC has more than one parallel port, the port to which the
printer is assigned is the same as the port to which it is
connected.
•
The parallel port is configured as an ECP parallel port in the PC’s
BIOS. See “PC settings” on page C-1 for more information.
•
Supplies are installed in all cartridges that you plan to use, and
cartridges are loaded correctly. See “Getting started” on page 2-1
for more information.
•
The printer is ready to print. The panel light on the printer should
be steady green when you send a test card. See “Using the
printer” on page 3-1 for more information.
•
Use the Windows test page, not a card from a card creation
application, to verify that the printer and driver are working
together.
