RESTRICTED USE ONLY Fargo Electronics, Inc.HDP5000 High Definition Card Printer/Encoder User Guide (Rev. 1.4) 1-4Reviewing the HDP5000 Sequence of OperationsThe following sequence describes a dual-sided, full color print job with magnetic encoding.Step Process1 The File information is received from the PC.2 The Heater warms up and/or maintains the heat on the hot Roller using theRTD (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 thecard Sensor, which will cause the Card Input Motor to stop.The Stepper will continue to run a certain number of steps to position the cardunder the Card Feed/Position Sensor.4 For a magnetic print job, the Stepper will continue moving the card until thetrailing 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 theMag Head. All stop.7 Stepper will turn ON in reverse direction and verify data encoded onto magstripe.8 Stepper continues transporting card until the trailing edge is positioned underthe Card Feed/Position Sensor. All stop.9 The Ribbon Drives turn ON and move until the correct panel is found by thePrint Ribbon Sensor. All stop. (Note: The Print Ribbon Encoder is activeduring this step.)This step occurs simultaneously with Step 10 (below).10 The Film Drives turn ON until the Film is positioned with the Film PrintAlignment 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 Sensoris activated. All stop.12 The Fan turns ON as required to keep head cool.Continued on the next page
