Theory of Operation
Card Movement During Printing
Card Movement During Printing
Step 1. The card is fed from the Feeder Cartridge into the Printer.
Step 2. As the card is moved into the Printer, it is cleaned via the Cleaning Cartridge;
this cleans dust and dirt particles from both sides of the card.
Step 3. If the Printer includes an optional Smart Card Encoder (either contact-style
or contactless), the card is moved to the Encoder; and the smart card is
encoded. As the card is encoded, it is checked to verify that it was encoded
properly. If encoding fails, the card is moved to the Reject Bin. This is done
to avoid wasting time and ribbon panels on a defective card. If the encoding
is successful, the card is moved into the pre-print position, just before the
Printhead.
Step 4. If the Printer includes an optional Magnetic Stripe Encoder, the card is
moved to the Encoder; and the magnetic stripe is encoded. The card is then
backed up and run through the Magnetic Stripe Encoder again; on this pass
the card is read to verify that the magnetic stripe was properly encoded.
If encoding fails, the card is moved to the Reject Bin. As with failed smart
card encoding, this is done to avoid wasting time and ribbon panels on a
defective card. If the encoding is successful, the card is moved into the preprint position, just before the Printhead.
Step 5. The card is printed.
Dye-Sublimation Printing
When the Print Cover is opened and closed, the ribbon is synchronized,
thereby bringing the leading edge of the Yellow ribbon panel (e.g., a YMCKO
ribbon) under the Printhead.
The leading edge of the card is moved under the Printhead (over the Platen
Roller), and the Printhead is lowered. Lowering the Printhead reduces the
space between the Printhead, the ribbon, and the card, which produces
sharper images.
As the card and ribbon move along, each element of the Printhead receives
a pulse of variable width; a wider pulse results in a hotter element which
melts a larger amount of yellow dye onto that particular spot on the card.
After this Yellow (Y) pass is completed, the Printhead is raised, the card is
moved back, and printing continues with the Magenta (M) ribbon panel,
then the Cyan (C) panel, then the Black (K) panel, and finally the Overlay (O)
panel.
Thermal-Transfer Printing
If using a monochrome ribbon, the card makes a single pass under the
Printhead. The Printhead elements are energized to either on or o. The
on level actually transfers the spot of resin under the Printhead element to
the card. This results in the sharpest possible images; for bar codes you
want the sharpest edges and highest contrast between dark and un-printed
areas.

Theory of Operation
Card Movement During Printing
Step 6. For double-sided printing, the card is now moved back to the Card Flipper
where the card is turned over (rotated 180 degrees). The card is moved into
the Print Engine; and the card is printed (same as Step 5).
Step 7. If the Printer has a Laminator:
a. The card is moved through the Printer into the Laminator.
b. As the card passes through the Laminator, laminating film is applied to
the card, the top side or both sides depending on the Laminator.
c. The card (with the laminating film) then passes between a pair of heated
rollers, which seal the laminating film to the card.
d. The card is moved from the Laminator to the Card Exit, where it falls into
the Output Hopper attached to the left side of the Laminator.
Step 8. If the Printer does not have a Laminator; the card moves through the Printer,
where it falls into the Output Hopper attached to the left side of the Printer.

Theory of Operation
Printing Technologies and Ribbons
Printing Technologies and Ribbons
There are two types of printing technology used in the printer: Dye Sublimation and
Thermal Transfer. The technology to use is determined by the type of dye or ink on
the ribbon.
Monochrome Ribbons have a single color ink on the length of the ribbon. The printer
is programmed to use Thermal Transfer printing for monochrome ribbons.
Multi-Panel Ribbons have a repeating sequence of panels of dierent dye. RFID
Multi-Panel Ribbons have an RFID tag on the supply spool; the RFID code identifies
the ribbon type and panel count. (Note that the lack of an RFID tag will be interpreted
by the printer as being a Monochrome Ribbon.) Printing with a Multi-Panel Ribbon
requires multiple passes of the card under the Printhead, once per panel.
For double-sided printing, a typical situation would be to print a full-color graphic (such
as a person’s picture) along with black text and/or bar-coding on the front, and black
text and/or bar-coding on the rear. In this case, a YMCKOK Multi-Panel Ribbon would
be used.
A YMCKO ribbon has successive panels as follows:

Theory of Operation
Printing Technologies and Ribbons
The ribbon synchronizes to it’s “starting” position whenever the Print Cover is opened
and then closed. For a YMCKO ribbon, the starting position is with the leading edge of
a Yellow Panel at the printhead location.
The figure below shows how the YMCKO ribbon and card move relative to each other
during printing.
Printhead in fixed position1. Ribbon move yellowpanel into
position at printhead.
2. Card is fed to printing position
under the printhead.
3. Card and ribbon move together as
yellow panel is printed.
4. Card and ribbon stop at the end
of the yellow panel.
5. Ribbon remains stationary as card
is moved back to printing position.
6. Card and ribbon move together as
magenta panel is printed.
In addition, the driver software allows the user to specify which ribbon panels are
printed on either side of the card.

Theory of Operation
Printing Technologies and Ribbons
Dye Sublimation Printing
In Dye Sublimation Printing, each printhead heating element is applied voltage at one
of a number of pulse widths.
A wider pulse results in the element getting hotter, which converts more of the dye (at
that pixel location) to a gas and diuses it into the surface of the card (a wider pulse
gives more intense color at that pixel).
This is repeated for each of the dye panels (i.e., Yellow, Magenta, and Cyan), to result
in full-color images.

Thermal Transfer Printing
In Thermal Transfer Printing, voltage is either applied or not applied to each printhead
printing element. If voltage is applied, the ink at that location is transferred to the
surface of the card.
Each pixel is either printed (i.e., the ink is transferred to the card) or not; there are no
intermediate levels.
Thermal Transfer printing with a black (K) resin panel is used for printing bar codes,
since contrast between the light and dark areas is the highest and the edges are the
sharpest.

Theory of Operation
High-Capacity Output Hopper
Hopper Cassette
• Easily removable from, and replaceable back onto, stacker base (full, partial, or
empty of cards).
• Equipped with a locking mechanism for capturing and holding stacked cards.
• Open front slot to allow for manual removal of cards (from 1 to 250 cards) without
removing stacker from base.
• With the hopper cassette removed, cards can be removed from top, not from
bottom as locking mechanism is not reversible.
Stacker
The high-capacity output hopper receives and automatically stacks cards in the order
they were printed—top face up—with the first card printed at the top of the stack, and
the last card printed at the bottom of the stack.
The high capacity output hopper runs independently of the printer and responds only
to the card present sensor at the entrance to the hopper. With the cassette in place,
the hopper will stack cards continuously based on print job (including overfilling over
the top of the cassette). With the cassette removed, the elevator will not actuate,
but the printer will continue to print and printed cards will accumulate on the stacker
base—up to 9 cards (30 mil) will accumulate before being pushed o the stacker base.

• Top laminate cartridge is not
installed properly.
• Cartridge is not removed
when that side of the card is
not being laminated.
• A mis-cut piece of laminate
(rare) is obscuring the media
sensor.
• Bottom laminate cartridge is
not installed properly.
• Cartridge is not removed
when that side of the card is
not being laminated.
• Improperly prepared
registered laminate.

Printer has not fed the card
far enough into laminator
mechanism for infeed rollers to
grab it.
Card did not make it to the
staging rollers.
Card and laminate have
jammed inside heater
assembly, often due to mispositioned laminate patch
sticking to heated rollers.
Card did not unblock the exit
sensor in the specied time.
The laminator expects the
printer to periodically send
commands to it within a
specied time period. If it
fails to do so, it assumes that
something is wrong with the
communication link or that the
printer is down. This error may
occur if the printer-to-laminator
communications is having
intermittent problems.
