Powering on the printer and PC
Use the following procedure to power on the printer and attached PC.
Power on the printer and PC
If the printer is connected over a network using a print server, make sure the
driver is installed and configured on the PC before using it.
1 Make sure cards and all other supplies are loaded. See other sections of this
chapter for more information.
2 Remove any printed or rejected cards from the output stacker. See “Removing
cards” on page 2-18 for more information.
3 Make sure the power cord and data cable are connected. If needed, see
“Connecting cables” on page 7-5 for more information.
4 Press the printer Power switch to turn on power. Observe the printer status light
which lights with a sequence of colors and then becomes steady green. See
“Status light” on page 2-14 for more information. The printer initializes
components and makes audible sounds.
Figure 2-14: Power on the printer
The optional overlay or topcoat module in some Magna printers requires about 10
minutes to reach operating temperature before printing a card. If you send a card
to print before the module is ready, a message appears on the PC and processing
waits until the module is ready. If the printer power was on recently, warm-up time
is shorter. The overlay or topcoat module makes a series of beeps while it is
warming up.
5 Press the PC Power switch to turn on the power to the PC. Turn on power to any
other equipment needed.
