4 What are the printer features of the new i Series
Intelligent Printing System?
- Image Data Processing: Uses a method of data processing in the printer
firmware to optimise how the image is printed. The printer is able to
process a wider range of colours resulting in greater image detail, sharper
images, and better colour control.
- Ribbon Type Detection: The printer deploys RFID technology to detect the
type of ribbon installed and interacts with the driver to ensure
optimisation for printing with the type of ribbon detected.
5 What are the ribbon features of the new i Series
Intelligent Printing System?
- New HC (High Colour) Ribbon Formulation: Prints in fuller, richer colours for
improved colour reproduction with more vibrant colour range.
- New Wider Ribbon: Covers full range of edge to edge printing for better
print quality and increased operating and density range to minimise potential for
ribbon wrinkle.
- RFID Intelligence: Factory pre-programmed ribbon type and image count
information is communicated to the printer and driver at installation.
- Image Counter: Counts and saves "number of images printed" information.
This information is used to provide "ribbon low" status to the driver.
The number of images printed is continuously updated and saved in the smart
chip on the ribbon cartridge or core, so the ribbon "knows" how many card
images have been printed. This means ribbons can be removed or exchanged,
even if not fully used, and reinstalled for use of the remaining panels.
6 What are the software/driver features of the i Series
Intelligent Printing System?
- Automatic Driver Configuration: Printer detects the i Series ribbon type and
the driver automatically configures the driver to select correct ribbon type.
- Javelin Image Profile: A software tool for Windows 98 and 2000
environments that enhances colours, minimises whitewashing, and enhances
colour contrasts.
- Ribbon Low Notification and Messaging: Alerts user when ribbon is running
low (20 card images remaining) and that a replacement ribbon will soon be
required.
- Changed Ribbon Type Notification: Notifies user and requests confirmation
when a newly installed ribbon is different than the previous ribbon used.
