Print Sequence For P500 printers without Expanded Memory,
the typical print sequence for YMCKrO Rib-
bons proceeds as follows:
• Printer ribbon synchronizes to the yellow (Y)
ribbon panel prior to printing. If not, press
the RESET button to re-synchronize.
• Card-feed rollers deliver a card to the trans-
port rollers, which accurately position cards
for all subsequent printer operations.
• Data for Yellow (Y) imaging downloads.
• Yellow Printing occurs.
• Card moves back, and ribbon advances to
next panel.
• Download, print, return card, and synchro-
nize steps occur for ribbon panels Magenta
(M), Cyan (C), Black Resin and Overlay.
• For duplex (two-sided) card printing, cards
move to the card-flip, where the lower side
transfers to an up-facing side. P500 cards
return again to the print head of the first sta-
tion for a repeat of the imaging sequence.
Often, only black resin (say for a bar code)
gets applied on the second side. The
YMCKrOKr ribbon offers an economical
choice for those with this requirement.
• After imaging, P500s send the cards to the
Laminator station through the Card-Flip.
There, either a die cut patch or a lamination
material is applied to the up-facing side.
P500s only support single-side lamination
using the included software. However, the
