Obtaining service

For repair assistance, contact your service representative. Place the service call from
a telephone close to the printer so that you can access the printer and the PC running
the driver while talking to the customer support representative.

Before you call for service, make sure you have the information recorded during
troubleshooting, as described on

page 6-1

. Also, make sure you have the serial

number of the printer. It is located on a label on the bottom of the printer.

Packing the printer for shipping

When service requests that you return the printer to a service center for repair, pack
the printer for shipping. You might also need to pack the printer to send it to another
location.

Pack the printer

1

Turn off power to the printer.

2

Remove the power cord from the printer and power receptacle. Remove the
interface cable and any other cables attached to the printer.

If you are shipping the printer to use at another location, pack the power cord,
interface cable, and any other cables in the accessories box.

If you are shipping the printer for service, do not ship cables with the printer
unless asked to do so.

3

Remove all cards from the card cartridge, and card output stacker, and printer. Do
not ship cards unless asked to do so.

Secure the print ribbon cartridge. Leave the print ribbon cartridge in place or apply
packing tape. Avoid applying tape to labels in the printer.

Make sure the card cartridge is firmly seated.

Close the cover.
