Cleaning the duplex module

If you have an ImageCard S2 or UltraGrafix S2 printer, you can clean the
printer's duplex module. To do this, select the Duplex button in the Cleaning
section of the status monitor window, or right click on the status monitor
icon and select Clean duplex from the popup menu. For further information,
see Cleaning the duplex module on page 3-19.

Starting or quitting diagnostics

The Start Diagnostics button on the Status tab switches the printer driver
from printing mode to diagnostics mode. When you select this button, a
message appears informing you that printing of your cards will stop in
diagnostics mode.
The Quit Diagnostics button on the Status tab switches the printer driver
from diagnostics mode to printing mode. When you select this button, a
message appears informing you that the printer will reset; you can resume
printing cards. The ribbon and internal components will move into the
position for printing cards.

Creating a magnetic stripe test card

Click on the Mag stripe card button to create a magnetic stripe test card.
Depending on what type of magnetic stripe encoding you use, the test card
should look like the one in Figure 3:-6 (IAT encoding) or Figure 3:-7 (NTT
encoding). For more information on this, see Printing magnetic stripe test cards
in Chapter 2.
Start diagnostics only when a DataCard-authorized service provider
asks you to do so.
If you have entered diagnostics mode and selected the Close button
in the status monitor, a message appears that allows you to quit
diagnostics before closing the status monitor window.
