Reviewing Card Printer Sequence of Operations (continued)
Step Process
13 The Ribbon Drives, Film Drive and Print Platen Stepper turn ON and the
Printhead burns the image data until the image data is depleted. All stop. (Note:
The Ribbon Encoders and Film Encoders are active during this step.)
14 The Headlift Motor engages, moving the Printhead up until the Headlift Sensor is
activated. All stop. The Film Drive reverses the Film Position Sensor to print over
the image (again).
15 Repeat Steps 9 to 14 for the appropriate number of color/heat seal panels.
16 The Film Drives turn ON to rewind the printed portion of the Film into position at
the heated Transfer Roller.
17 If the heater is not at the required temperature yet, the job will pause.
18 Stepper engages to move the card to a position directly over the Transfer Roller.
The Card Feed/Position Sensor determines card edge and number of steps to
position card. All stop.
19 The Headlift Motor turns ON to raise the Transfer Roller and will stop when the
Headlift Sensor is activated. All stop.
20 The Stepper and Film Drive will turn off after a given number of steps based on
the position given by the card Sensor. All stop. (Note: The Film Encoder is
active during this step.)
21 The Headlift Motor turns ON to lower the Transfer Roller, stopping when the
Headlift Sensor is activated.
22 The Film Drive and Stepper turn ON for a given number of clicks based on Film
Encoder, until the film is released.
23 The Stepper turns ON to move the card into the Output Module to flip the card to
the opposite side. After flipping, the card is transported back to the Card
Feed/Position Sensor (to repeat Steps 9 to 14).
Upon completion of all print cycles, the card is transported to the Output Hopper
(based on steps from the Output Card Position Sensor). All stop.
24 The Heater is maintained at a set temperature by the RTD when the Printer is
ON. The cooling fan is ON when the Printhead is ON or hot.
