Adjustments
Card Strip Offset
This parameter determines how far the card travels after printing a panel to
allow the ribbon to be stripped away from the card. This offset begins when the
last portion of the image has been printed. This parameter should not be altered.
Range
0 to 15,000 (in thousandths of an inch)
Increase Value
The card travels more distance after printing a panel. (This
will slow down throughput slightly.)
Decrease Value
The card travels less distance after printing a panel.
Symptom/Solution
Print ribbon sticks to the trailing edge of the card.
•
Increase the card strip offset.
Ribbon Type
Ribbon type is a read-only parameter that cannot be changed. The display will
show the type of ribbon that has been detected by the printer. However, it is
more informative to query the printer using
.
This will
provide the ribbon type number as well as the Datacard part number.
Ribbon Offset
This parameter tells the printer how far to advance the print ribbon after the
index mark is detected by the ribbon index sensor. This value is applied only to
the first panel following an index mark.
This parameter should not be modified from the factory default setting. If it
does become necessary to change it, refer to the Ribbon Offset Adjustment on
page 5-37.
Range
0 to 10,000 (in thousandths of an inch)
Value Too Large
Printing will begin on the proper color panel, but will extend
past the end of the panel and into the next color. This
results in coloration errors at the trailing edge of the card.
Value Too Small
Printing will begin with the wrong (previous) color panel but
will conclude with the correct color. This results in coloration
errors at the leading edge of the card, and frequently
results in the index mark being printed.
Vertical Offset
This parameter shifts the image within the printhead to keep it centered on the
card. The variable is called
vertical
because many other printers process cards
with a vertical orientation to the card path. The variable is the same across all of
these printers, but the orientation of the card path is horizontal in this printer.
