Configuration
Print Performance Setting: Performance options from the dropdown menu include:
- No error recovery (None): The printer provides high throughput with a hands-off
error recovery policy. This allows the host to have full control over how failed jobs
are retried, if at all. In this mode, there can be more than one job in the system at any
time. If there is any job in the system (i.e., printer or laminator) and an error occurs,
the job will not be automatically retried by the system after the error is cleared. In
addition, jobs already in the printer that were sent after the job that had the error are
aborted. Jobs ahead of the one with the error are not affected and are allowed to
proceed to completion if possible. This mode would be used in applications requiring,
for example, uniquely-serialized cards and having no automated means of validating
the mating of a job to a card.
- Standard error recovery (Medium): The printer provides high throughput with a
reasonable-effort error recovery policy. In this mode, there can be more than one job
in the system at any time. If a job suffers an error it will be automatically retried after
the error is cleared. Card jams, for example, are handled this way – after the printer is
opened, the jammed card removed, and the printer closed and re-initialized, a fresh
card is fed and the job reprocesses without host intervention. Jobs ahead of the job
that had the error are not affected and are allowed to proceed to completion if
possible. Jobs behind the one with the error are paused until the error is cleared, and
then they also proceed to completion.
- Full error recovery (High): The printer provides reduced throughput so that it can
recover any job automatically. In this mode, only one job is allowed into the system at
a time; and if a job errors anywhere in the system, the job will automatically be retried
by the system after the error is cleared.
Print Adjustment:
Print X offset and Print Y offset sliders position the image on the card. The Print X offset
slider values range from Minimum 3 to Maximum 150. The Print Y offset slider values
range from Minimum -16 to Maximum 16. Note that changing the offset can cause the
printer to print off the edge of the card and can cause ribbon ripping/tearing.
Image Fill is used to resize the image (smaller or larger) to best fit the card. The Image
Fill slider values range from Minimum 98 to Maximum 102. Note that changing the image
fill can cause the printer to print off the edge of the card and cause ribbon ripping.
•Print Head (Access is controlled via Security Roles)
- Serial Number: When you replace the printhead, change this field to match the serial
number of the replacement printhead.
- Resistance (Minimum: 2200 ohms, Maximum: 3300 ohms): When you replace the
printhead, change this value to match the resistance of the replacement printhead.
Note that the values must match for the algorithms to work properly. This value is
located on a label on the printhead; e.g., R = 3000.
