1.2 Operating the printer safely

The following precautions must be observed to assure safe operation of the printer. Also, do not do anything that is not described in this manual. Doing so may cause an unexpected accident.

Installing location

Do not install the printer

in a damp or dusty location

on an unstable table, on a slant, or any place where there is excessive vibration.

in a location susceptible to rapid fluctuations in temperature.

in a location exposed to direct sunlight.

near flammable or explosive materials or heater, stove or other device that produces heat

Place the printer away from walls to maintain air flow. Also, maintain at least 30 cm of open space above the printer and at least 15 cm on each side on the printer. Blocking the vents may cause the printer to overheat and catch fire.

Power supply

l Use a dedicated power cable and do not use an extension cord with multiple outlets. l Be sure to remove any dust from the plug and outlet. Humidity produces a micro-current on the surface causing overheating or fire. l Do not damage or modify the Power Cable. Also, do not place heavy objects, pull, or bend excessively. l Do not plug in or unplug the Power Cable if your hands are wet. l Ensure a ground wire is connected. When connecting the ground wire, note the following cautions

Recommended connections for ground wires.

Outlet ground terminal Ground terminals installed as type A, B, or C A copper rod 65 cm or longer buried in the ground.

Not permitted for ground wires

Gas piping (risk of fire or explosion.) Water pipes or taps (water pipes that include plastic piping cannot act as a ground. However, if a water pipe is configured to act as a ground, then connection of a ground wire is permitted.) Telephone line ground wires or lightning conductors (danger of high current flow in the event of a lightening strike.)

l Be sure to turn off the power and unplug the plug from the outlet before moving the printer. l Pull on the plug, not the cable, when unplugging it from an outlet. l Do not use an under-rated extension cord.

Page 6

Handling

Do not use flammable sprays near the printer. Do not touch anything inside the printer unless specified in this manual. Do not place heavy items on the printer and do not lean on the printer. While the printer is operating do not turn off the printer, unplung the power cable, or look inside the printer.

The cooling fan is always running for cooling the inside of the printer. This is not a malfunction. The printer may cause static, flickering or interrupt reception or televisions or radios if they are too close to the printer.

The lower part of the Top Cover (under the card feeder), the printer internal heat roller section, and the thermal head section get very hot. Ensure you do not touch these three locations.

Security cable

You can prevent theft of the printer by locking it with a wire cable. Use a wire cable that fits the Security cable Slot (0.12"x0.28" (3.00mm x 7.00mm)) to lock up the printer.

1-3c RIBBONS AND FILMS

Evolis original ribbons optimise your printer’s operation and avoid causing damage to it. The use of ribbons from other suppliers is liable to damage your printer and voids the manufacturer’s warranty for the printer.

For optimum print quality, Evolis recommends that the printer is cleaned every time the ribbons and films are changed. See the Servicing and Maintenance section of this manual.

Ensure that the appropriate ink ribbon type is selected in the print driver.

The

l Ink ribbons intended for the printing module, identifiable from their purple cores. l Clear ReTransfer films intended for the Retransfer module, identifiable from their charcoal cores.

printer accepts two types of ribbon:

For optimum printing and Retransfer quality, Evolis recommends that the printer is fully cleaned every time the ribbons are changed. with the mandatory cleaning cycles in order to keep the equipment in full working condition (see the Maintenance section). Validity of the manufacturer’s warranty is dependent on adherence to cleaning cycles.

This is left to the judgement of users, who will nonetheless take care to comply

Page 12

Fitting the ink ribbon

Before fitting the ink ribbon you have to know about the Evolis electronic key which is delivered with every color ribbon.

You will have to install the ribbon first and then install the key inside the printer as demonstrated below:

The electronic key is equipped with a RFID tag which communicates with an electronic board inside the

printer. Without this key, the printer will not print.

Ê Ë

When installing the electronic key, the Avansia printer instantly identifies the type of ribbon without user intervention. The process is automated from end to end.

With this recognition system you will know exactly how much of the ribbon capacity is remaining, as this information is readily available from the Printer Driver on the PC. Similarly, when the ribbon is nearing its end, an alert is displayed on-screen. This helps in estimating the subsequent print jobs possible, and you can ensure not running out of ribbon during the card personalization process.

Printing

The information about the procedures described in this section refers to a Windows 7 environment.

2-1 Installing the print driver

Configuration of the printer and its driver is a very important step and requires very special care. In fact, inappropriate settings are a factor having a negative impact on the quality of card customisation. It is therefore essential to proceed in stages, changing settings only when you are completely sure. Evolis offers the option to revert to the factory settings at any time if the adjustments made do not give the expected results.

Your printer is delivered with a CD containing the print drivers for Windows.

To install a print driver, insert the CD into your computer and select the print driver menu. A program will guide you through the entire installation process.

Do not connect your USB cable to your computer until prompted to do so by the installation program. For the connection procedure, see the section on Connecting the Printer.

Follow the installation procedure scrupulously. Some versions of Windows and Macintosh require the user to have administrator rights to install the driver.

Page 25

2-2 Managing the print settings

Before using your printer, it is essential to check and/or change the default print driver settings:

l Ribbon type l Card type l Card finish or treatment l …

You will find more detailed information about the cards recommended by Evolis in the ‘Evolis Genuine Product’ list of consumables.

Pay attention to the settings defined under the print driver Properties and do not hesitate to contact your Evolis reseller for any advice and assistance needed before making any changes.

These print settings are accessible:

l From the Start button found bottom-left on the Windows task bar, select Printers and faxes. l Select your printer and double click. l From the Printer menu, select Properties. l The first properties configuration screen for the equipment then appears. l The main tabs used to define the settings are “Graphics” and “Tools”.

l Logo and Illustration l Identification photo l Fixed and variable text l Bar code, etc.

Once ready, click on File and then on Print.

Page 29

2-4 Connecting to a network (Ethernet)

All Evolis printers have the benefit of a TCP/IP network connection mechanism. This feature is available as standard or as an option, depending on the model in the range.

Out of the box, the printer comes configured in DHCP mode (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), which means that its IP address is supplied by the network. In addition to these basic settings, the network administrator has the option of configuring the printer differently in order to comply with the constraints imposed by the corporate LAN:

l Printer connected in a subnet, in DHCP l Printer connected within a subnet with fixed IP address, with WINS resolution l Printer connected within a subnet with fixed IP address, without WINS resolution

The printer may be identified on the network in two ways:

l By its hostname (NETBIOS) l By its IP address.

The user-definable settings are:

l The printer’s IP address l Subnet mask l Gateway l WINS server.

Changing the printer’s basic settings, without prior knowledge of the layout of the LAN in question or without genuine technical knowledge may result in a malfunction of the printer, and may even extend to a more widespread failure of all or part of the LAN. Contact your System and Network Administrator before connecting to or changing the settings for your local area network.

For further details, refer to the ‘Configuration of Evolis printers on a TCP/IP (Ethernet) LAN’ manual.

Maintenance

3-1 General warranty information

Your Evolis printer has been designed to give you long service and needs only minimal regular maintenance. Please comply with the instructions given below to ensure that it runs satisfactorily.

Keep your warranty cover!

The manufacturer’s warranty is subject to strict adherence to the routine servicing and maintenance instructions, and in particular the printer cleaning cycles.

Any failure to follow the maintenance and servicing procedures described in this section voids the print head warranty.

Evolis declines any liability where there has been a failure to carry out required maintenance on the printer. The print head is a wearing part and an extremely sensitive printer component. Its useful life can be seriously curtailed by the presence of

dust, liquids or solids in the printer’s immediate environment, on the print head or on the cards. Users must take all necessary precautions to insert only clean cards, free of dust deposits or foreign bodies, into the machine.

The frequency and quality of cleaning are decisive factors enabling users to extend the print head’s useful life and to ensure excellent print quality. Particular care must therefore be taken with cleaning. Users must comply with the servicing and maintenance instructions as fully described in this section.

Evolis provides replacement parts and consumables that you can refer to within this user guide or by visiting the website at

www.evolis.com.

In addition, the use of Evolis brand ribbons (Evolis Genuine Ribbons) also ensures that your equipment operates properly. Use of ribbons not approved by Evolis may as a consequence affect the quality and reliability of print jobs, produce low quality printed output and even affect the printer’s operation. The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover physical damage or quality problems caused by using non-Evolis approved ribbons.

Page 32

3-2 Routine printer cleaning

The print head warranty is directly linked to routine cleaning of your printer. If you do not carry out this cleaning at the required times, the print head warranty will cease to be valid.
