Identity Cards
Epson GL identity card
Follow these guidelines when using the Epson GL card.
l You must allocate at least 1.5 MByte of RAM for the channel
that will use Epson GL mode. This means you need to add at
least 0.5 MB of RAM to your printer before you can use GL
mode. See “Memory Options” later in this chapter.
l The printer ignores device control commands from optional
interfaces even if the interface is serial. Use the printer’s serial
interface to enable the additional device control commands.
l The following restrictions apply when you are running the
Epson GL mode using Channel S with the AUTOSENSE setting:
-The power-on default channel becomes Channel S
-Channel S cannot receive any data when another channel is
receiving data
-You can select Channel S only when the FEED light is off.
l The maximum number of copies you can choose SelecType is
99.
Caring for identity cards
When you use the cards, follow these precautions:
Do not drop, crush, or bend the cards. Their curvature does not
affect their operation; do not try to straighten them.
Avoid touching the small gold connectors (contacts) along the
card’s edge.
If the card becomes dirty, clean the connectors by wiping the
edge with a clean tissue. Do not use water, alcohol, or other
solvents to clean it.
Keep the cards in their slip cases and blue antistatic bags when
you are not using them.
Do not store cards in direct sunlight or near heat sources. They
can withstand temperatures from
-30°C
to
65°C (-29°F
to
150°F)
and up to
90%
humidity.
