Choosing A Location - DataCard SR200 Hardware And Driver Installation Manual

Choosing a Location

The location of installation affects the performance of the SR200 or SR300 printer. Install the
unit(s) in a location that meets the following criteria.
•
Use the card printer in locations with the cleanness Class 8 or better of ISO14611-
1. Using the card printer in dusty locations may cause print blurring and printhead
malfunctions.
•
Turn the power off whenever no printing operation is required. Leaving power on
for long periods without printing may cause fine dust to collect inside the printer,
causing print blurring and causing dust to adhere to cards.
•
Avoid locations susceptible to strong vibration or shock.
•
Avoid locations exposed to direct sunlight.
•
Avoid locations where there is a possibility of metal objects or other foreign
material entering the unit.
•
Avoid areas near walls with little ventilation.
•
Avoid unstable locations and angled surfaces.
•
Avoid locations prone to static electricity, such as a carpeted room.
•
Avoid areas near air conditioners, humidifiers, or heat sources that may cause
condensation within the printer.
Install the printer in an environment with the following recommended temperature and humidity
range:
•
Temperature: 59°F to 86°F (15°C to 30°C), or 63°F to 83°F (17°C to 28°C) if using
peel-off (PO) or UV ink
•
Humidity: 35% to 70%, non-condensing, or 35% to 60% if using peel-off or UV ink
Caution: Using the printer in an environment with temperatures lower than
the recommended range may cause retransfer errors. Using the printer in an
environment with temperatures higher than the recommended range may
cause print errors including deformation of the cards and wrinkling of the film.
Security
Both the SR200 & SR300 printers have slots for cable-type security locks. If you plan to use a
cable lock, choose a location that provides a secure place to fasten the cable.
