  • Page 24: Section 4: Ribbons And Cards

    A. ABOUT RIBBONS As described in Section 1-A, the 4250 Card Printer utilizes both dye-sublimation and resin thermal transfer printing methods while the 4225 utilizes only the resin thermal transfer method. Since the dye-sublimation and the resin thermal transfer print methods each provide their own unique benefits, print ribbons are available in resin-only, dye-sublimation-only, and combination dye-sublimation/resin versions.
  • Page 25 Resin-Only Ribbons (for 4250 and 4225) Resin-only ribbons consist of a continuous roll of a single resin color.

  • Page 44 Selecting this option disables the printing capabilities of the printer, yet still allows the printer to encode cards. This option is useful if you would like to encode or re- encode preprinted cards without wasting additional time, effort, or printing supplies.
  • Page 45 (i.e., with the YMC panels only). In addition, when printing from certain application programs, the printer driver is also forced to print all objects, even black text or bar codes, with the yellow, magenta, and cyan color panels. This happens because some application programs interpret both text and image objects as bitmapped images.
  • Page 46 (YMCB). As a result, this slide will not appear if printing with a resin-only ribbon. To control the amount of heat the printer uses when printing with the resin black panel(s) of a full-color ribbon or when printing with a resin-only ribbon, adjust the Resin Heat slide.

    Your printer is equipped with either a standard 8-bit centronics-type parallel interface port or a high-speed Macintosh serial interface port. These communication ports are the means through which the printer receives data from your computer. This section describes the pin assignments and signal specifications for each of these ports.

  • Page 85: Centronics-Type Parallel Interface

    36-pin Amp type with two metal-wire retaining clips and is ECP (Extended Capabilities Port) compatible. It mates with a standard, bi-directional PC to printer parallel cable. For best results, keep the interface cable to under 6 feet if possible.

  • Page 86: Mini 8-Pin Serial Interface

    The mini 8-pin serial interface connector is the standard interface used by Macintosh. This serial port mates with a standard computer to printer serial cable. For best results, always use a high-quality serial cable which is less than 6 feet in length.

    A. INTRODUCTION Your printer is equipped with an internal adjustment mode programmable through the LCD Display. This adjustment mode allows you to change the printerÕs internal settings for overall Image Darkness, Image Placement, Magnetic Offset, SmartCard Offset, and Print Length. To change these settings, please refer to the remainder of this section.

  • Page 90 On/Cancel button to enter a negative value. To move the printed image toward the trailing edge of the card, or card input side of the printer, press the Pause/Resume button to enter a positive value. Notice the arrows on these buttons indicate the direction the printed image will move on the card.
  • Page 91 -< >+ This option applies only if the printer has a built-in smart card contact station. If so, this option allows you align the position of the smart card so that its smart chip makes positive contact with the smart card contact station as the card passes through the printer.
