HDP8500 Industrial Card Printer/Encoder User Guide L001617 rev 1.1
Using the Test Print
Each ribbon type has its own test print PRN associated with it. Therefore, with the test print
there is no user configuration used to create the print job data.
Example below: The ribbon is set to YMCKI and the printer has a specific test print file, which
can be sent to the printer to verify the Inhibit Panel functionality. This test image uses a pre-
formatted inhibit area and will not test a user-defined inhibit bitmap. To use this test of the
inhibit panel perform these steps.
Step Procedure
1 Install the YMCKI ribbon. ( or other applicable ribbon)
2 Bring up the Printer Preferences dialog via Start -> Settings -> Printers and
Faxes. Right click on the HDP8500 printer instance; then left click on Printer
Preferences to select the Card tab.
3 Click on the Test Print button.
