    PVC ID Card Handling Precautions

  • Do not insert the disc/ID card tray while the printer is operating. This may damage the printer.

  • Do not insert the disc/ID card tray until you are instructed to do so. Otherwise, an error occurs and the PVC ID card is ejected.

Place the PVC ID card in the disc/ID card tray with the printable side facing-up. Place it in slots 1 or 2 on the disc/ID card tray or in both according to the print data.

Note:

Depending on your environment, you may not be able to print to slot 2.

Insert the disc/ID card tray with the PVC ID card side of the tray toward the printer. Insert until the marks on the disc/ID card tray are aligned with the front of the printer.

Note:

You may feel slight friction when inserting the tray into the printer. This is normal and you should continue to insert it horizontally.

When the disc/ID card tray is automatically ejected after printing is complete, pull it out and remove the PVC ID card.

When printing is complete, remove the disc/ID card tray. If you do not remove the tray and turn the printer on or off or run head cleaning, the disc/ID card tray will strike the print head and may cause the printer to malfunction.

Note:
  • You can set the margin in increments of 0 to 1 mm.

  • The size you set is restored to its default after printing the PVC ID card. You can change the defaults in Settings > Printer Settings > PVC ID Card Margins.
