1-3 INSTALL ATION
The DURACARD ID 300 printer must be placed in a dry location, protected from dust and drafts but well-ventilated. Take care to
keep your printer on a flat, sturdy surface able to bear its weight.
1-3A CONNECTING THE PRINTER

DK: Printeren skal tilsluttes til en korrekt beskyttet og jordforbundet el-installtion.
➊ Connect the power cable to the power supply unit, then plug the power cable connector into the printer.
➋ Next, plug the end of the power cable into an earthed power socket.
➌ The printer is powered on: the control panel lights up showing the printer is working properly. If the
control panel does not light up, then either the installation has not been carried out correctly or the
printer is not working properly. Check the installation.

Before attempting any maintenance, always ensure that the power cable is unplugged. For your personal safety, ensure that the
cable and power supply unit remain easy to access, especially in the event of an emergency.
Under no circumstances should you connect the USB data cable before the installation of the driver is complete.
To save energy, the printer will automatically switch itself to standby mode after 10 minutes of inactivity. The printer switches to
hibernation mode after 30 minutes in standby mode.
The standby times can be configured in the DURABLE Print Center. In standby mode sending a print request restarts the
printer, and briefly pressing the control button (for 1 second) takes the printer out of hibernation mode.
Connecting the USB cable
Refer to the section on driver installation for further details, and follow the instructions carefully.
