6.11.1 How to Create Sample Cards
The simplest way to test the EC2000 is to create sample cards, which does not require a network
connection or any additional software. To create a sample card, follow these steps (see
this YouTube
video for a demonstration):
1) Press the Menu button to open the Main Menu page.
2) Press the Samples button to open the Samples page, which presents four sample card options.
3) Select the sample you wish to create. Options 1 and 2 are designed to use preprinted card stock, and
will not include full-color images on the front of the card.
4) The EC2000 will use a default card stock hopper for each sample. If you want to use stock from a
different hopper, select the hopper number from the dropdown list at the bottom of the screen, then
press the
Change button.
5) Press the Print button. The EC2000 will create the selected sample card.
