Ribbon Errors: Check that the print ribbon has not 'run out'. Lock and then
unlock the print head assembly; this resynchronises the ribbon automatically.
When using a color ribbon, it should advance automatically so that the leading
edge of the Yellow panel is beneath the print head. Ensure that the correct
ribbon type has been specified in the Windows driver.
Card Feed & Mechanical Errors: Ensure that the card thickness adjustment
has been set-up correctly to allow one card to feed.
Magnetic Encoding Errors: Check that the cards are inserted correctly in
the printer. Ensure that the cards are low or high coercivity as required, and
are set-up correctly in the printer driver.
Cleaning Alert: The printer has counted the number of cards printed and
has automatically flagged that a cleaning routine needs to be carried out.
