1-3 Installation
1-3a CONNECTING THE PRINTER
³Connection to the power supply
The printer must be connected to a properly protected and earthed electrical installation.
FI: Laite on liitettävä suojamaadoitus koskettimilla varustettuun pistorasiaan.
NO: Apparatet må tilkoples jordet stikkontakt.
SE: Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag.
Connect the power cable to the power supply unit, then plug the power
cable connector into the printer.
Next, plug the end of the power cable into an earthed power socket.
The printer is powered on, and the printer’s control panel lights up,
indicating that the printer is working properly. If the control panel does
not light, then either installation has not been carried out correctly or the
printer is not working properly. Check the installation.
Before attempting any maintenance, ensure that the power cable is always unplugged. For your personal safety,
ensure that the cable and power supply unit remain easy to access, especially in the event of an emergency.
To save energy, the printer will automatically switch itself to standby mode after 10 minutes of inactivity.
³Connecting the USB cable
Under no circumstances should you connect the USB data cable before installation of the printer driver is
complete.
Refer to the section on printer driver installation for further details, and follow the instructions carefully.

1-3b CARDS
Use only the card types recommended by Evolis.
Do not touch the printable surface of the cards in order to preserve print quality.
Keep your cards protected from dust.
³Card types
Rewritable cards require no ribbon. The card itself contains a thermosensitive material which becomes visible when heated to a high
temperature, and disappears when a lower temperature is applied. This effect is reversible and the same card can be erased and re-
written up to 500 times.
The thermal printing process requires the card to be cooled before re-printing. Should this not occur, partial erasing of the previous image
is observed. A few seconds are typically enough. Similarly, standard contrast is reached a few seconds after the card has been printed.
The problem is reduced after a few print runs. However, it may be impossible to print cards that are too out of
shape. New cards must be kept in a clean, dry environment, such as inside the printer card feeder. Dirty or dusty
cards may cause irregular or incomplete printing, or even premature wear and tear to the print head. A regular
cleaning schedule is recommended. See the “Maintenance” section for more information.

³Loading the cards
The printer accepts PVC cards between 0.50 mm (20 mil) and 0.76 mm (30 mil) thick. For optimum quality, the cards used must
meet the CR 80 standard.
There is more than one way to load and collect the cards. The print driver must be matched your requirements and choices.
Loading cards into the card feeder
Cards are loaded into the feeder as follows:
Remove the card feeder from the printer as shown.
Insert the cards in the feeder as indicated, with the side to be printed facing down.
Put the feeder back into the printer, pressing until a click is heard.

Loading a card manually
Insert a card manually into the manual card feeder. The card will automatically eject after printing.
³Removing printed cards
The printer is supplied with an output hopper with a capacity of 15 x 0.76 mm (30 mil.) cards. This hopper receives the cards once printed
