Troubleshooting
What is the problem?
Try this:
1
A message appeared on the PC or
LCD panel.
•
Click the Help button on the message box or find the message in
this guide to see possible causes and the solution for each
cause. See the “Related Topics” to fix the problem.
2
The printed cards do not look the
way that I want them to.
•
If you moved the ribbon while the printer was powered off, print
another card. If the problem persists, see the
SP Series Info
Central
for detailed information about solving card appearance
problems.
3
Cards jam often.
•
The brand of cards might be dirty, heavily powdered, or bowed
(curved). Consider buying a different brand of cards or clean the
printer more often to use the cards.
•
The printer rollers might be dirty. See “Cleaning the printer
rollers” on page 41 for steps to clean the printer rollers.
4
The ribbon has broken.
•
Trim the end of the broken ribbon evenly. If ribbon on the take-
up spool is not wound firmly or is uneven, remove it. Tape the
end of the ribbon onto the
same
take-up spool, making the
edges of the ribbon and spool even.
•
If the ribbon breaks repeatedly, settings might not be correct for
the card design and ribbon. See Setup in
SP Series Info Central
.
