Introduction
Push buttons and Indicator lights
RIBBON button
This button is used to synchronize the ribbon – in other words,
to position it correctly under the print head.
In typical applications, the ribbon type is YMCK, and the back
of the card is printed first. In such cases, pressing the RIBBON
button will advance the color ribbon to bring the leading edge
of the next black panel under the print head.
If back side printing is not enabled, the printer will
synchronize on the next yellow panel when the RIBBON
button is pressed.
LAMINATE button
If either (or both) of the laminate transfer rollers is not loaded with a laminate patch, then
pressing the LAMINATE button will correct the condition, provided the cassette(s) is not out
of laminate. If both rollers are already loaded, the LAMINATE button has no effect.
A typical use of the LAMINATE button is in reloading a transfer roller after removing the first
hand-cut patch of laminate following installation of a fresh roll.
