Testing Motors

This dialog box allows you to operate each of the motors in the printer for a
specified duration.

Procedure

Select from this list of available motor tests:

•

Transport Motor (fast, slow, forward, or reverse)

•

Ribbon Motor

•

Printhead Cam Motor

•

Card Pick Motor (remove cards from the hopper first)

•

Printhead Fan Motor (the fan cycles on and off)

Enter a duration in seconds (or number of cycles for the fan) in the box below
the test type selection.

Click

Start

to begin the test (

Stop

ends the test before it times out).

Click

Reset Printer

as it is a good practice to reset the printer before

returning to card production.

Use the

Printer values

button if you want to check the settings.
