980541-001 Rev. A P640i Card Printer User Guide 5
The P640i printer receives data through one
of three types of connector: Ethernet
(optional feature), USB (standard feature) or
Parallel (Centronics type, optional feature).
Test card
You may sometimes be asked to print a test
card. This is the pattern stored in the printer’s
memory (it has nothing to do with the
computer). If the printer is functioning
properly, it will be printed when the PRINT
button on the front panel is pressed following
power-up.

PRINT button
Press the PRINT button to print the image
stored in the printer’s memory. When the
printer is powered up, the memory is loaded
with a checkerboard test pattern, above.
In regular on-line use, the PRINT button
reprints the last image downloaded from the
computer to the buffer memory.
If you press and hold the PRINT button for
more than two seconds, the printer will
continuously reprint the image in the buffer. Stop this action by pressing the button
momentarily while printing is in process.
Note that pressing the PRINT button will have no effect if any of the following applies: 1. An
error condition exists; 2. You have set up the print driver to print color on both sides of the
card, or; 3. The optional hardware lockout key, ID/Key, is missing (but this does not disable
the checkerboard printout available after power-up).
