Print Block
The card moves back and forth in the Print Block 5 times to be printed with 3
colors, black and overlay. Print Block consists of Card Transport Module, Print
Head Module and Ribbon Feed Module.
In the Card Transport Module, the card is transported by two pairs of capstan
rollers placed in front and behind platen roller. While printing, the nip release
mechanism works to eliminate the shock of the card entering the printing block and
provide a smooth and clear printing. Each roller is precisely driven by stepping
motor to minimize the color deviation and the side of the card is controlled to limit
skew. A high resolution
(
300 dpi
)
thermal head is used in the Print Head Module
for clear and high quality image printing. An even pressure is give n
to the thermal
print head by two coil spring located at both end of the head to
maintain uniform
contact to the card. The thermal head is assembled in one
independent unit so that
the replacement is made very easy. Also a user can replace the print head and
ribbon at front side by featuring front access system.
Ribbon Feed Module has Feed Bobbin, Transport Roller, Take-up Bobbin and
driven by each independent torque limiter so that the ribbon can be fed with
constant tension for stable printing. Take up bobbin is driven at two speeds, slow
for printing and high for non-printing, which makes the efficient operation possible.
