Reviewing the HDP600 Sequence of Operations

The following sequence describes a dual sided full color print job with magnetic encoding. (Note: The HDP625/625-LC Printers have two (2) Card Input Hoppers that load 100 cards in each Hopper.)

Step Process

1 The File information is received from the PC. 2 The Heater warms up and/or maintains the heat on the hot Roller using the

Thermocouple to help maintain the desired temp.

3 The DC Motor and Stepper Motor turn ON and run until a card is seen by the card

Sensor, which will cause the Card Input Motor to stop. The Stepper will continue to run a certain number of steps to position the card on

the Flipper Table. All stop. Card Low Sensor will check for cards in Input Hopper.

4 Stepper will turn ON, causing the Flipper to turn to the magnetic angular position.

The Flag Sensor and counted steps are used to determine the angular position. All stop.

5 Stepper will engage to drive the card past the Mag Card Sensor and the Mag

Head.

6 Stepper engages to drive the card to a centered position on the Flipper Table

using the Mag Card Sensor and a step count. All stop.

7 Stepper will turn ON, causing the Flipper to turn to the default (flat) position. The

Flat Sensor and counted steps are used to determine the angular position. All stop.

8 Steppers engage to move the card OFF the Flipper and to a position near the hot

Roller, using Card Feed Sensors and a step count. All stop.

9 The Ribbon Drives turn ON and move until the correct panel is found by the Print

Ribbon Sensor array (5 reflective). All stop. (Note: The Print Ribbon Encoder is active during this step.)

This step occurs simultaneously with Step 10 (below).

10 The Film Drives turn ON until the Film is positioned with the Film Print Alignment

Sensor. (Note: This is the closest Sensor to the Transfer Rollers.) All stop. (Note: The Film Ribbon Encoder is active during this step.)

11 The Headlift Motor engages, moving the Printhead down until Headlift Sensor is

activated. All stop.

Step Process

12 The Fan turns ON as required to keep head cool. 13 The Ribbon Drives, Film Drive and Print Platen Stepper turn ON and the Printhead

burns the image data until the image data is depleted. All stop. (Note: The Ribbon Encoders and Film Encoders are active during this step.)

14 The Headlift Motor engages, moving the Printhead up until the Headlift Sensor is

activated. All stop.

15 The Ribbon Drives and Film Ribbon Drive advance until the Print Ribbon Encoder

sees acceleration at release. (Note: The Ribbon Encoders are active during this step.)

16 The Ribbon Drives move until the Print Ribbon Position Sensor finds the next

panel. All Motors stop. (Note: The Ribbon Encoder is active during this step.)

17 The Film ribbon drive turns ON until the images portion of the Film is positioned

before the Printhead, using the Film Print Alignment Sensor. All stop. (Note: The Film Encoder is active during this step.)

18 The Headlift Motor engages, moving Printhead down until the Headlift Sensor is

activated. All stop.

19 Ribbon Drive, Film Ribbon Drive and Stepper all turn ON and the Printhead burns

image data until the image data is depleted. All stop. (Note: The Ribbon Encoders and Film Encoders are active during this step.)

20 The Ribbon Drive, Film Drive and Print Platen Stepper engage until print Ribbon

Encoder sees acceleration at release. (Note: The Ribbon Encoders are active during this step.)

21 The Headlift Motor engages, moving the Printhead up until the Headlift Sensor is

activated. All stop. (Note: This step is not performed after the last Color/Heat Seal Panel is printed.)

22 Repeat Steps 9 to 14 for the appropriate number of color/heat seal panels.

Panel is printed.) 25 If the heater is not at the required temperature yet, the job will pause. 26 Stepper engages to move the card to a position directly under the hot Roller. The

Top of Form Sensor determines card edge and number of steps to position card.

All stop. 27 The Headlift Motor turns ON to lower the hot Roller and will stop when the Headlift

Sensor is activated. All off. 28 The Stepper and Film Drive engage to laminate the printed Film onto the card.

They will turn off after a given number of steps based on the position given by the

card Sensor. All stop. (Note: The Film Encoder is active during this step.) 29 The Headlift Motor turns on to raise the hot Roller, stopping when the Headlift

Sensor is activated. 30 The Film Drive and Stepper turn ON for a given number of clicks based on Film

Encoder, until the film is released. 31 The Stepper turns ON to move the card into the Output Hopper (based on steps

from a known position). All stop. 32 The Heater and Thermocouple are maintained at a set temperature at all times

when the Printer is ON. The cooling fan is ON when the Printhead is ON or hot.

1 The Card feed stepper turns ON (to check for a card on the Flipper table). 2 The Lam Headlift turns until the head up position is returned from the Headlift

Sensor). 3 The Film transfer take-up Motor turns ON to take up any slack in the film. 4 The Print Headlift turns until head up position is returned from Headlift Sensor. 5 The Print Ribbon moves forward until it finds the yellow panel, pauses, advances

to magenta, then backs up to yellow (the Ribbon Sensor detects marks on the

ribbon). 6 The Transfer Ribbon advances forward two panels from supply (advances until

the Print Film Sensor senses 2 marks on the Film). 7 The Transfer Ribbon advances forward one panel from supply (advances until

the Print Film Sensor senses 1 mark on the Film). 8 The Transfer Ribbon reverses for one panel onto supply (reverses until the Print

Film Sensor senses 1 mark on the Film). 9 The Transfer Ribbon reverses for one panel onto supply (reverses until the Print

Film Sensor senses 1 mark on the Film).

Functional Specifications

The Card Printer utilizes two different, yet closely related printing technologies to achieve its remarkable print quality for dye-sublimation and resin thermal transfer. See the System Requirements under Technical Specifications.

The following describes how each of these technologies works:

Function Description

DyeSublimation

Dye-Sublimation is the print method the Card Printer uses to produce smooth, continuous-tone images that look photographic. (Note: This process uses a dye-based Ribbon roll that is partitioned by a number of consecutive color Panels.)

 Process colors: The Panels are grouped in a repeating Series of

three process colors - yellow, magenta and cyan (YMC), along the entire length of the Print Ribbon.

 Panels: The Printer always prints the yellow Panel first, followed by

the magenta Panel and the cyan Panel.

 Printhead: As the Print Ribbon passes beneath the Printhead,

hundreds of thermal elements within the Printhead heat the dyes on the Ribbon. (Note: When these dyes are heated, they vaporize and diffuse into the surface of the film and then the film is laminated onto the card surface. A separate pass is made for each of the three color Panels on the Ribbon.)

 Color Shades: By combining the colors of each Panel and by

varying the heat used to transfer these colors, it is possible to print up to 16.7 million different shades of color. (Note: This blends one color smoothly into the next, producing photo-quality images with absolutely no dot pattern.)

 Dye-Diffusion Thermal Transfer: It is the process of heating a dye

suspended in a cellulous substrate until the dye can flow, diffusing into the dye receptive surface of the card or InTM. This produces the image in the surface of the card.

Component Description

Resin Thermal Transfer

Card Input Hopper

Card Output Hopper

Card Lamination Module

Resin Thermal Transfer is the print method the Printer uses to print sharp black text and crisp bar codes that can be read by both infrared and visible-light bar code scanners.

Like dye-sublimation, this process uses the same thermal Printhead to transfer color to a card from a resin-only Print Ribbon or the resin black (K) Panel of a full color Print Ribbon.

The difference, however, is that solid dots of resin-based ink are transferred and fused to the surface of the film and then the film is laminated onto the card surface. (Note: This produces very durable, saturated printing.)

Load blank cards into this hopper.

Stores printed cards.

Works in conjunction with the Printer to apply a variety of different overlaminates to printed cards, providing increased card durability and security.

The Module has its own LED indicator light and control buttons; so it can be operated separately from the Printer. (Note: When printing a batch of cards, the Printer can be encoding and printing one card

while the Lamination Module laminates another card.) LCD Display Displays the current status of the Printer. LED Light Indicates the Printer ON, OFF, pause and error conditions. Printhead The component of the Printer that actually does the printing. This

Printer Components: Print Ribbons

The Card Printer utilizes both dye-sublimation and/or resin thermal transfer methods to print images (print to film and transfer film to card). Since the dye-sublimation and the resin thermal transfer print methods each provide their own unique benefits, Print Ribbons are available in dye-sublimation-only and combination dye-sublimation/resin versions.

To make it easier to remember which Print Ribbons are which, a letter code has been developed to indicate the type of Ribbon Panels found on each Ribbon.

This letter code is as follows:

= Dye-Sublimation Yellow Panel

= Dye-Sublimation Magenta Panel

= Dye-Sublimation Cyan Panel

= Resin Black Panel

= Heat Seal Panel (Note: This is not available on CR100.)

3.875" (+/-0.002" W, +/-0.005" L) or 66.675 X 98.425 mm. The Printer will print onto any card with a clean, level and polished PVC

surface. Suitable cards must have a polished PVC surface free of fingerprints, dust

or any other types of embedded contaminants.  In addition, cards must have a completely smooth, level surface in

order for the Printer to achieve consistent color coverage.

 Some types of Proximity cards, for example, have an uneven surface

which will inhibit consistent color transfer.

Likewise, some smart card chips are raised slightly above the cards surface, which also results in poor color transfer.

Due to the importance of using high-quality blank cards, a factory-approved card stock called UltraCard™ is available and recommended for best results.

 UltraCard stock has a glossy PVC laminate on top and bottom and is

optically inspected to provide the cleanest, most scratch and debrisreduced cards possible.

 Two types of these cards are available: UltraCard and UltraCard III.  UltraCard stock has a PVC core and offers medium card durability.  Recommended: UltraCard III stock has a 40% polyester core and

offers high durability.

Both types of UltraCards produce printed images with a glossy, photoquality finish.

Choosing a Good Location

Follow these guidelines:

 Place the unit in a location with adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up.  Use the Printer's dimensions as a guideline for the minimum clearances to the unit.

(Note: Allow for adequate clearance above the unit to accommodate the height of the

unit with its covers open.)  Do not install unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts or in a place subject to

direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.

About Moisture Condensation

If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense inside the unit. Should this occur, print quality may not be optimum.

Leave the unit turned OFF in a warm, dry room for several hours before using. This will allow the moisture to evaporate.
