Verifying Computer to Printer
Communication in WINDOWS
K
The simplest way to verify correct operation is to
print a test image from a WINDOWS application:
•
Ensure that the Printer is switched ON and that the PO W ER ON and ON LINE indicators
are lit.

Run a WINDO WS application (badge-m aking, desk-top publishing or image processing)
on your PC, with a suitable image or artwork.
•
Ensure that the PrintMagic MAGICARD Printer is t he default printer.
•
Ensure that the printer cable is connected from the PC to the printer.
•
Print the document, by selecting Print from the File menu.
•
If the test imag e - or part of it - prints, t he inst allation is complete and verified.

Important Cleaning
Procedures
M
It is very important that the MagiCard Printer be cleaned at regular intervals in
accordance with these instructions. Cleaning Cards and a Cleaning Pen are
included with every printer shipped
Thermal Printhead Cleaning
It is recommended that the Thermal Printhead be cleaned after every roll of dye film, i.e.
after every 250 cards printed.
CAUTION Failure to clean the Thermal Printhead after every roll of dye f ilm can result
in the build up of residues which cause whi te lines and streaks i n the printed image.
The Thermal Printhead is a fragile and expensive item. Care should be taken to avoid
damage to the printing surface at its lower edge. The surface of the Thermal Printhead
should not be touched with the fingers and under no circumstances should any hard,
sharp or abrasive materials be allowed to contact i t .
WARNING The recommended cleaning materials are inflammable. Clean the Thermal
Printhead in a well-ventil at ed area and avoi d naked f lames. Extinguish any cigarettes.
Clean the Thermal Printhead as follows:
1. Switch the printer OFF and isolate from the mains power supply.
WARNING The MagiCard Printer contains potentially l et hal voltages.
2. Hinge down the Pull-down Card Tray.
3. Hinge down the mechanism front cover and lif t up the Top Cover to the vertical, as
illustrated.
MAGICARD Sprinter Flip Page 35
Quick Start Guide Ultra Electronics Card Systems
4. Whilst changing the dye film, and with the dye film removed, gently wipe the tip of the
Thermal Printhead, using a gentle side-to-side action, with the Felt Tip Cleaning Pen
supplied.
5. Using a tissue, remove any deposits from the pen t ip and r eplace t he pen cap to avoid
solvent evaporation. Allow the solvent to evaporate fully from t he pr inthead before
proceeding to fit the new roll of dye film.
Cleaning the Tacky Roller
NOTE - It is very important that these Cleani ng Instructions are adhered to i n order to
maintain the MagiCard print quality.
A Tacky Roller is located between the Cassette and the upper brushstrip. Its purpose is to
pick up loose debris, fibres and particles from the upper surface of each card which would
otherwise cause a blemish on the finished printed card. Depending on t he type of cards used
it is recommended that the Tacky Roller is cleaned each time the Card Cassette is filled, t o
recover its stickiness. Clean the Tacky Roller using a piece of Scot ch adhesive tape. Refer
to Section E to see how to remove the Tacky Roller.
Cleaning the Rubber Rollers
It is recommended that the Rubber Rollers in the transport mechanism be cleaned after
every 1000 cards printed, using the recommended solvent-impregnated Cl eaning Card as
follows:
CAUTION: Failure to clean the Rubber Rollers may result in mis-regist ration of images
and problems in feeding cards out of the Cassette.
WARNING The recommended cleaning materials are inflammable. Clean the Thermal
Printhead in a well-ventil at ed area and avoi d naked f lames. Extinguish any cigarettes.
Page 36 MAGICARD Sprinter Flip
Ultra Electronics Card Systems Quick Start Guide
1. Hinge down the Pull-down Card Tray. Hinge down the Front Cover and lif t up the Top
Cover to the vertical position, and remove the Cassette. Switch ON the power supply.
2. Get the motor to turn the rollers by operating the Cover Microswitch in the hinged cover,
by hand. Allow the motors to achieve full operating speed before applying the Cleaning
Card to the rollers, other wise the motors will stall and the rollers fail to tur n.
3. Clean the Front Rubber Drive Roller every 1000 cards printed or if m is- r egistration occurs.
Open a fresh solvent impregnat ed Cleaning Card and clean the Front Rubber Drive Roller
by inserting the Cleaning Card fr om the front with the impregnated side faced down, with
the rollers turning so that t he roller turns against the Cleaning Card as shown in Position
A.
4. Clean the Printhead Roller, normally positioned beneath t he Thermal Printhead, by
applying the Cleaning Card (with the impregnat ed side faced down) to the visible surfaces
of the Printhead Roller so that the roller turns against the Cleaning Card as shown in
Position D.
NOTE Discard the Cleaning Card when it has dri ed out. One or two cards should be
sufficient to carry out these instruct i ons.
5. Clean the Rear Rubber Drive Roller by inserting the Cleaning Car d with t he im pr egnated
side faced down, from the rear with the r ollers turning (ie, beneath the Card Preventer
and the Sticky Roller) so that the lower roller t urns against the Cleaning Card as shown in
Position E.
6. Clean the Card Feed Rollers every 1000 cards printed or if problem s occur with cards
feeding from the Cassette. Using the Cleaning Card clean the t wo Card Feed Rollers .
One is normally beneath the Card Cassette and the other is close to theSticky Roller.
These rollers are geared together and cannot be turned by operating the Cover
Microswitch as above. Turn one Card Feed Roller by hand whilst applying the Cleaning
Card, with the impregnated side fa ced down, to t he other Card Feed Roller. Repeat the
cleaning process for the other Car d Feed Roller as shown in Positions B and C.
MAGICARD Sprinter Flip Page 37
Quick Start Guide Ultra Electronics Card Systems
Cleaning the Optics
1. Using a small, soft lens brush, gently remove dust and debris from the visible mechanism
and the brushstrips. Ensure the two light em it ting diodes (LED's) adjacent to the Ther m al
Printhead, are clean and not obscured.
2. Check that the two apertures to the t wo optical sensors ( one is 3m m diam eter, the other
is a fine slit in a stainless steel strip) are not obscur ed by debris.
Cleaning the Magnetic Head (if fitted)
1. The Magnetic Head is located beneath the card, between the therm al printhead and the
front pinch rollers. To clean the Magnetic Head, manually insert the Cleaning Card into
the mechanism and withdraw several times until the head is clean.
CAUTION Take great care not to scratch the surface of the magnetic head with any
sharp or abrasive material.
