6. Card management

a. Configuration

The Quantum printer has two card feeders and two card output hoppers which

may all work independently of the others. To this effect, there are four ways to

manage the loading and reception of the cards. The different modes may be set

from the properties of the Quantum printer driver (see chapter 2 for more infor-

mation on the configuration of the printer driver).

Configuration of the feeders

• Automatic selection

The cards are taken alternately from feeder 1 then from feeder 2 until there

are none left.

When an error is detected in one of the feeders, the cards are taken automa-

tically from the other feeder.

• Alternating mode

The cards are taken alternately from feeder 1 then from feeder 2 until there

are none left.

When an error is detected in one of the feeders, the printer stops and a prin-

ter internal error is displayed on the printer control panel.

• Feeder 1

The cards are only taken from feeder 1 until it is empty.

• Feeder 2

The cards are only taken from feeder 2 until it is empty.

Configuration of the output hoppers

• Automatic selection

The cards are received alternately in hopper 1 and then hopper 2.

When an error is detected in one of the hoppers, the cards are received in the

other hopper.

• Alternating mode

The cards are received alternately in hopper 1 and then hopper 2.

When an error is detected in one of the hoppers, the printer stops and a prin-

ter internal error is displayed on the printer control panel.

• Output Hopper 1

Hopper 1 receives the cards from the feeder pre-defined in the feeder confi-

guration in the driver.

• Output Hopper 2

Hopper 2 receives the cards from the feeder pre-defined in the feeder configura-

tion in the driver.

b. Loading the cards

The Quantum printer has two

feeders that can contain a maximum

500 cards each (0.76 mm – 30 mil.).

A label placed inside each feeder

enables them to be identified :

Feeder 1 and Feeder 2.

NOTE !

The configuration of the feeders may be set from the properties of

the printing driver. See point 2 of chapter 2 of this manual for further

information on their use.

1. Open the door of the feeder as

indicated and insert 500 cards

max. (0.76 mm – 30 thou.).

Note the position of the

pre-printed cards.
