Ribbon Errors: Check that the print ribbon has not 'run out'. Lock and then unlock the
print head assembly; this resynchronises the ribbon automatically. When using a
color ribbon, it should advance automatically so that the leading edge of the Yellow
panel is beneath the print head. Ensure that the correct ribbon type has been
specified in the Windows driver.
Card Feed & Mechanical Errors: Ensure that the card thickness adjustment has been
set-up correctly to allow one card to feed.
Magnetic Encoding Errors: Check that the cards are inserted correctly in the printer.
Ensure that the cards are low or high coercivity as required, and are set-up correctly
in the printer driver.
Cleaning Alert: The printer has counted the number of cards printed and has
automatically flagged that a cleaning routine needs to be carried out. (See Chapter 4).
