Using the Magnetic Test option (only with Magnetic Encoding
Module)
Use this option only if Magnetic Encoding Module is installed in your Printer.
Step Procedure
1
Select this option to test the module. (
Note:
This test will not print on a
card, but will simply feed, encode and eject a blank card.)
Be sure to have HI-CO Magnetic Stripe cards installed in your Printer when
running this test.
Setting up the Printer
In most cases, these settings should only be modified by qualified service personnel.
•
If adjustment is necessary, refer to trained Service personnel who have access to the
DTC550 User Guide.
•
If you would like to make small adjustments to Print TOF/EOF (offset) or Image
Darkness, first try making these changes through the Printer driver's Image Position and
Image Color controls prior to changing the internal Printer settings.
See three cautions below:
•
Caution #1:
These settings are optimized at the factory and will rarely need to be
changed.
•
Caution #2:
Do not alter these settings unless it is absolutely necessary.
•
Caution #3:
If you do need to change these settings, it is important to note that the
factory settings for each specific Printer are recorded on a label inside the main
enclosure of the Printer. This label can be seen by opening the Top Cover. There is a
RESTORE SETTINGS option in the LCD that allows you to do this automatically.
Use this option to change the Printer's internal settings for controlling the procedures in this
section.
