7 The Transfer Film reverses for one panel onto supply (reverses until the Print
Film Sensor senses 1 mark on the Film).
8 The Transfer Film reverses for one panel onto supply (reverses until the Print
Film Sensor senses 1 mark on the Film).
Reviewing the HDPii Sequence of Operations
The following sequence describes a dual-sided, full color print job with magnetic encoding.
Step Process
1 The File information is received from the PC.
2 The Heater warms up and/or maintains the heat on the hot Roller using the RTD
(Resistive Thermal Device) to help maintain the desired temp.
3 The DC Motor and Stepper Motor turn ON and run until a card is seen by the
card Sensor, which will cause the Card Input Motor to stop.
The Stepper will continue to run a certain number of steps to position the card
under the Card Feed/Position Sensor.
4 For a magnetic print job, the Stepper will continue moving the card until the
trailing edge is positioned under the Mag Head. All stop.
5 Stepper will turn ON in reverse direction and encode card. All stop.
6 Stepper will again turn on and position the trailing edge of the card under the
Mag Head. All stop.
7 Stepper will turn ON in reverse direction and verify data encoded onto mag
stripe.
8 Stepper continues transporting card until the trailing edge is positioned under the
Card Feed/Position Sensor. All stop.
9 The Ribbon Drives turn ON and move until the correct panel is found by the Print
Ribbon Sensor. All stop. (Note: The Print Ribbon Encoder is active during this
step.)
This step occurs simultaneously with Step 10 (below).
10 The Film Drives turn ON until the Film is positioned with the Film Print Alignment
Sensor. (Note: This is the closest Sensor to the Print Platen Roller.)
All stop. (Note: The Film Ribbon Encoder is active during this step.)
11 The Headlift Motor engages, moving the Printhead down until Headlift Sensor is
activated. All stop.
