Make a printer test card
The Select printer does not need to be connected to a PC to print this card.
1
Power off the Select printer.
2
Confirm that all supplies are loaded. See “Using the printer” on page 2-1 if
needed.
If the printer has a magnetic stripe module, the cards for a printer test card
must have a magnetic stripe. If it is a three-track module, be sure to use the
high coercivity blank cards shipped in the supplies kit.
3
Press and hold the Ready button (1), and then power on the printer (2) as shown
in Figure 5-1. Hold the Ready button until the printer sounds three tones, usually 5
to 10 seconds.

Release the Ready button. You hear the internal components initialize. Allow 30 to
60 seconds for the printer to begin printing the test card. The status light will flash
green while the printer is processing the data.
5
Remove the card from the card output stacker. A printer test card is shown in
Figure 5-2.
If the printer test card did not print successfully, see if there are problems with the
printer such as jammed cards or an out of ribbon condition.If needed, turn to
“Troubleshooting” on page 5-1.
