4.2.3 User Interface for the Device Controller
The EC500p User Interface is similar to the IS380 User Interface (which is documented in the IS380 Device Controller User Guide).
The following screenshots describe the various states presented by the program.
2. If the Job Server indicates there is a job pending
for this EC500p, the Device Controller retrieves the
job from the Job Server.
1. When the EC500p Device Controller begins,
it gets the Serial Number from the printer and
compares it to the EC500p Client Certificate
and establishes a secure SSL connection to the
QwickCards.com Job Server. It will periodically poll
the QwickCards.com Job Server to see if there is a
job queued for this EC500p.
4. After the job has been completely sent to the
EC500p device, the Message display reflects that
the job was completed successfully which indicates
that the Device Controller has reported back to the
Job Server that the card was successfully created.
It then returns to the System Idle message as
shown in point #1.
3. After the job has been received from the Job
Server (including the images configured to print on
the card), the Device Controller begins processing
the job locally and directing it to the attached
EC500p device.
6. If the EC500p Device Controller loses
communication with the printer, the status LED
turns red and the Message indicates the possibility
that the printer is unplugged or is not powered on.
5. Before an EC500p device can be used on the
system, it must added to the system and activated.
If this error is shown when the EC500p Device
Controller is started, it indicates that it has not
been added/activated. When that activity has been
completed, restart the EC500p Device Controller
program.
7. If the EC500p Device Controller detects that the
hopper is empty, the status LED turns red and the
Message indicates an error reflecting the fact that
the card hopper is empty.
