Special Note:
How to fit UR3 Continuous Resin Dye Film and UR10 Single Colour Dye Film
Before fitting the continuous resin black thermal transfer film dye film or the UR10 single colour dye film a small modification must be car r ied out on the take-up spool spigot before operating the printer.
As this dye film has no panels the optical sensors are inope rative, so for correct operation it is important that this modification is carried out.
Please Note: Should you revert back to using any other dye film this modification must be reversed.
The modification is performed as follows:
Switch off the Magicard printer and lift up the Mechanism Top Cover to the vertical position and remove the dye film and take-up spools.
ON PRINTERS WITH WHITE PLASTIC DYE FILM TAKE-UP GEAR
Remove the steel pin, which normally enga ges with the recess in the dye film take-up spool.
This pin is a press fit in the dye film take-up spigot adj acent to the large plastic spur gear as illustrated in Figure 2.
It may be removed by means of a pair of pliers or a sma ll "Mole" wrench, using a twisting and pulling action to remove it.
