Product features
䢇This card printer allows printing of high-quality, full-
color images equivalent to photographic quality onto
standard size (ISO 7810 compliance) plastic cards
using sublimation type transfer printing.
䢇Use of sublimation type retransfer printing enables
printing of cards other than those made of PVC and
non-contact IC cards, etc. with uneven surfaces that
were previously difficult to print directly.
䢇Printing with no margins on all sides is possible.
䢇The host interface utilizes SCSI (asynchronous)
mode. The unit has a built-in SCSI bus terminator.

Handling of transfer film,
ink ribbons and cards
Handling
Take note of the following points when handling print
media (retransfer film and ink ribbons) and cards.
• Use of bent or damaged cards may result in card
feed error.
• Do not touch the print media or the printed surface
of cards directly with the hands as this may cause
blurring of the print.
• Foreign materials on the printing area may result in
misprints. Always load the print media and cards in
a clean environment.
• Static build-up in the print media or cards can
cause errors. To avoid causing static electricity, do
not rub cards together.
• When replacing or replenishing print media or
cards that have been stored at low temperatures, let
the print media or cards sit for at least one hour at
the same temperature as location where the printer
is to be used before use. Using print media or cards
as they are may cause condensation and result in
malfunction or print errors.

and ink ribbons) and cards may have a strong
