MAGICARD Sicura Laminator
Notes:
1.
If the Magicard card printer prints a card before the laminator is ready (ie not fully armed up, or
still laminating the previous card), the card is held within the body of the printer until the
laminator is ready, and further printing is queued.
2.
All new Turbo printers are configured to detect the presence of a Sicura laminator. If UltraSecure
is de-selected in the Windows driver, the Turbo produces cards with no overcoat.
3.
If UltraSecure is turned on however, the printer will copy the standard or key-based security logo
onto the card, laying down solid overcoat only in the area of the logo itself.
4.
When cards are subsequently overlaminated, the result is a clearly visible ‘3D’ logo effect which
is clearly visible in normal daylight.
5.
When viewed under UV light, the logo fluoresces brightly, producing a security check against
counterfeit IDs.
Interfacing to a TURBO Series
Printer
H
Switch off the printer, remove the
UltraSecure dongle, and attach the
cable from the laminator to the printer.
Switch both units ON, and allow to
warm up. Print and laminate a test card
by pressing the Test Card button at the
rear of the printer.
Position the laminator so that the
location tab at the card entry slot is
located in the card exit slot of the
Magicard printer.
Check that the DIP Switch Section 1
(brown) is in the DOWN position (see
Section F4).
