Find the following on the outside of the printer:
Top cover
The cover protects the internal parts of the printer from dust and debris. It also lessens
the sound from the printer.
Top cover lock (optional)
The optional top cover lock (near the duplex or pass-through module) allows you to
lock the top cover closed, preventing access to the inside of the printer without
authorization.
Status light
The status light indicates that the printer power is on, is processing data, is ready to
receive data, or is in an error condition.
Card cartridge
The card cartridge holds blank cards to print. It holds about 100 cards (with a nominal
thickness of 0.030 inches (0.76 mm)). At the bottom of the card cartridge, the
exception card slot allows you to insert a single card that is different from the cards
in the card cartridge.
