4-2 Diagnosis help
In this section, you will find all the information you need to carry out a few simple checks that you may be asked to run by your Evolis dealer
to help you as effectively as possible.
4-2a PRINTING A TECHNICAL TEST CARD
We recommend that you print a technical test card to ensure that your printer is working properly. This card shows various items of
technical information concerning the machine (serial number, firmware, cleaning operations, print head, etc.). You may be asked for
these by your dealer.

correctly.

Go to Evolis Print Center, select System information and click on the Test cards tab. Then click the Graphic test card button. The card is
