Who to call for assistance
If you work with a Datacard-authorized distributor or value-added reseller, contact
your reseller for assistance. A value-added reseller provides the Express or Select
printer as part of an overall system.
If any contents of the box are missing, contact your distributor or reseller. If you
purchased your printer directly from Datacard, contact Datacard. Make sure you have
the serial number, located on the bottom of the printer, when you call.
