Press the PC Power switch to turn on the power to the PC. Turn on power to any
other equipment needed.
To pause the printer, press and hold the Ready button for three seconds or less.
Any cards being printed complete the current operation and stop. The status light
continues to blink green while the printer is paused with jobs in the queue. The
status light is amber when the printer is paused with no jobs in the print queue.
If the printer is paused and a message box is displayed on the PC, use the
buttons on the message box to clear the message. If you press the Ready button
to clear a message, the current print job is cancelled. If you press the Ready
button to clear a pause condition, the job is not cancelled.
To cancel and clear the current print job, press and hold the Ready button for
between three and ten seconds. When the sound changes tone, release the
Ready button. The job is cleared from the printer memory and the card is ejected.
You can verify that the printer is working correctly by making a printer test card.
