Hardware User Interface
The Card Printer has two hardware user-interface features: buttons and beeps.
3.1
Using the Card Printer Buttons
Figure 1 - Card Printer Buttons
The Card Printer has two buttons that perform multiple functions. The color of the buttons' light
is blue, except when red to indicate an error condition.
3.1.1
Using the Power Button
The Power button initiates or interrupts electrical power to the printer. To start up the printer,
press the Power button once. The buttons illuminate with a steady blue light. To deactivate the
printer, press the Power button twice. The lighted buttons extinguish and become dark.
The Power button also moves cards to the left along the card track toward the output hopper.
Press the Power button to clear jammed cards.
3.1.2
Using the Pause/Resume Button
The Pause/Resume button enables the Operator to temporarily stop and continue the print
process. To suspend printing, press the Pause/Resume button once. When printing stops, the
button changes from steady to blinking. To continue printing, press the button once again. The
button returns to a steady glow.
3.2
Beeps
The Card Printer beeps to indicate the successful completion of a setting or activity. A single
beep generally indicates a successful change. However, two beeps signals the successful
completion of the Clean Printer routine. Three beeps signals the restoration of default values
for settings on the Advanced Settings tab.
