PRINTER LIMITATIONS
1. First and foremost, always ensure the printer is kept clean and free of any dust. The printer must be cleaned at the frequency
recommended (after every 1000 images or at the change of a standard film). Do not leave card stock or partially spent dye film
open to gather dust as trapped debris and dust will be evident in the finished card.
2. Image Size is important to ensure full edge to edge coverage.
For Pronto 100: 1016 x 642 Pixels or 85.6 x 54mm.
Magicard 300, 600 and D and K Series: 1013 x 642 Pixels or 85.7 x 54mm.
For Ultima and Prima: 1036 x 664 Pixels or 87.7 x 56.1mm.
Note: For the Retransfer series, it produces an ‘over-the-edge’ sized image consistent with reverse transfer printing which
allows the entire card surface can be covered with a ‘bleed’.
Therefore, it is important that any aspects of the image that the user wants to have wholly visible should fit centrally within
1013 x 642 pixel area to avoid any unwanted clipping.
3. Cards to be printed on should be from a reputable source and conform to ISO7810. Any debris, inclusions or pits within the card
may be evident in the finished image reproduction.
To ensure optimal card feeding performance, the card stock should be fanned (separated) and the input hopper maintained
between 10 minimum and 100 cards maximum (the input Hopper capacity being 100 cards).
Do not use any cards outside the Printers card thickness specification 0.50 - 1.27mm (20 - 50mil). To do so may result in a card
jam within the printer and may not be covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• To prevent electric shock do not remove covers.
•
Do not attempt to service the printer yourself.
•
There are no user serviceable parts inside (either printer or dye film). In the event of malfunction, contact your
printer/consumable supplier.
• This product is only to be used with the power source supplied at point of purchase.
• Take care not to spill any liquid on the printer.
• When handling the printer avoid touching the printing edge of the thermal printhead. Any grease and contamination will
shorten its life.
•
Before transporting the printer, remove dye film & card hoppers and pack the printer in its original packaging to reduce the
likelihood of damage in transit. Magicard is not responsible for printers/items inadequately packaged.
