Introduction

About this manual

This manual provides detailed information about the Datacard

®

 RP90 Plus E card printer 

and the optional Datacard

®

 RL90 card laminator. The first section provides operators with 

basic information about the printer and laminator including drawings and parts 
identification. The second section provides the information needed to use the printer, and 
the third section talks about viewing and changing printer settings including printing 
preferences and setting properties. Detailed error recovery information is provided in 
section five and includes LCD messages and how to recover from them. Printer supplies, 
storage information, and specifications are included in section six. 

Who to call for assistance

If you work with a Datacard-authorized dealer, distributor, or value-added reseller, contact 
them for assistance. A value-added reseller provides the RP90 Plus E printer and optional 
RL90 laminator as part of an overall system.
If any contents of the box are missing, contact your Datacard-authorized dealer, distributor 
or reseller. If you purchased your printer directly from Datacard, contact the Datacard 
Customer Care Center at 1.800.328.3996 for service in the United States and Canada. For 
worldwide service, call the Datacard Customer Care Center directly at 952.988.2316. 
Make sure you have the printer serial number, located on the back of the printer and 
optional laminator serial number, when you call.
