Section 2: Installation & Operation
Remove the EC1000 from its shipping container and inspect the unit for any possible shipping
damage. Place the EC1000 on a flat level surface (capable of supporting at least 85lbs.) then
remove all shipping restraints within and outside of the machine. Next, connect the power and
data cables. Power up the EC1000 via the power switch on the rear chassis and allow the
system to startup. After the EC1000 starts up the ribbon will need to be loaded if card printing
is planned.
2.1: Loading Ribbon
Follow these steps to load ribbon into the Printer:
1) Remove the ribbon and cleaning roller from its packaging. Do not touch the colored
portion of the ribbon. Oil or dirt from the hands can impair print quality.
2) The supply end of the ribbon is the side with the fresh, unused ribbon. The ribbon take-
up is the other end. The gray cores must be present in the supplied ribbon in order for
the printer to print properly.
3) Open the Top Cover of the EC1000 by inserting and turning the key and gently grasping
the top handles of the Cover and lifting upward. The cover will lift up and fold in half
exposing the printer beneath. (A
user password will also be needed to open electronic
locks on the cover)
4) Open the Print head assembly by gently pulling up on the assembly’s release tab and
lifting upwards. This will allow the assembly to swing completely open.
5) Place the supply end of the ribbon in between the green and gray ribbon drive hubs
located on the right-hand side of the printer’s interior (match the green ring to the green
ring). Make certain that the ribbon is fed from underneath the ribbon roll. Hint: The
ribbon drive hub is on the right side of the printer, as you are looking into the EC1000
from the front side. Use the end of the ribbon supply core to push in this ribbon drive
hub when inserting the ribbon. Place the take-up end of the ribbon roll in between the
two gray ribbon drive hubs located on the left-hand side of the printer’s interior. Load the
ribbon take-up end just as you loaded the ribbon supply end.
6) When loaded properly, the ribbon should feed underneath both ends of the ribbon roll.
Grasp the release tab and gently lower the print head assembly to close it.
7) Every time the ribbon is replaced the card cleaning cartridge must also be replace. To
replace the card cleaning cartridge lift the cleaning assembly out of the printer.
8) Once the assembly has been removed replace the card cleaning roller and remove the
protective tape on the new roller. Then reinstall the card cleaning assembly into the
printer.
