Printer Components: Top Cover to Parallel Interface Card
Components Description
Top Cover This cover opens to allow access to the Printhead, print ribbon and card
path. (Note: This cover must be closed in order for the Printer to begin
printing.)
Release tab This tab unlatches the Top Cover.
Printhead
This Printer component actually does the printing. (Note: This
component is fragile and must not be bumped or touched with anything
other than a cleaning pen.)
On/Cancel
button
The On/Cancel button turns the Printer ON and OFF. (Note: It also
serves to cancel the current print job and reset the Printer for the next
print job.)
If a card is left within the Printer after a print job is canceled, it will
automatically be ejected when the Printer is turned back ON.
Pause/Resume
button
The Pause/Resume button is used to pause the Printer during normal
operation and also to resume operation after an error condition is
cleared.
Note #1: In general, as the icon above this button indicates, errors are
related to either the ribbon or the cards. If an error occurs, the Media LED
will flash.
Note #2: The Printer must have both the Power LED and the Media LED
illuminated in order to print. See Reviewing the LCD Error/Status
Messages in section 2, page 22 for more information.

Clean the Card Cleaning Roller during every ribbon change (every 250
cards) or as needed.)
