CHOOSING THE RIGHT CARDS Ultra Electronics Ltd Card material Not all white plastic cards are the same. For best image quality always use high quality video grade PVC cards. Pure PVC card stock or laminated PVC/polyester cards are available. The latter are more durable and better suited to heavy use and heat lamination when required. For access control and smart card applications, your dealer should provide the appropriate type for direct to card printing. For good consistent results, stick to a single variety of good quality cards, such as those available from your Magicard dealer. Card size Standard (CR80) = 3.375 x 2.125 (86.5 mm wide x 53.98mm high). Card thickness Minimum - 0.015 ( 0.38mm). Standard - 0.030 ( 0.76mm). Maximum - 0.063 ( 1.60mm). To obtain good quality prints the card must be:
Glossy white. Free from dirt and grease. Free from surface contamination. Free from pits and bumps in the surface. Free from burrs at the edge of the card. Completely flat. 85.6 mm 3.375 inches 1016 pixels Printable area of the card Both the Enduro and Enduro Duo printer offer high quality edge to edge (full bleed) printing. Dye cut PVC cards typically have an edge roll off (bevel) which can result in a fine white line around the edge of full bleed printed cards. When setting up your card design using your graphics software on your PC, you should use a maximum page size of 1016 pixels (3.45/87.5mm) x 642 pixels (2.13/54mm). 53.96 mm 2.125 inches 642 pixels Magicard Enduro User M anual

Ultra Electronics Ltd Using Magnetic stripe cards If you have an Enduro Mag printer (fitted with the optional magnetic encoding module) you can simultaneously print and encode the magnetic stripe on the rear of a magnetic stripe card. The Enduro Mag can encode HiCo and LoCo type magnetic stripe cards When loading magnetic stripe cards, make sure the stripe is on the left and underneath when viewing from the front of the printer. Refer to your PC Badge printing application for instructions on how to print and encode a magnetic stripe card. Using self-adhesive cards We recommend only self adhesive cards supplied by Ultra Electronics via your Magicard dealership. There are many different types of self-adhesive cards. Thorough investigation and testing has shown that poorer quality or incorrect card types will cause problems in the printer. These problems range from poor image quality; failure to feed from the card hopper; dye-film being cut and cards getting jammed in the roller mechanism. Magicard Enduro User Manual

CARING FOR YOUR PRINTER Ultra Electronics Ltd CLEANING IS IMPORTANT!!
Printer care is an important factor of your printers good operation and longevity. Maintaining a regular cleaning routine will give you optimum print quality and prevent down time. Magicard recommend that you clean the rollers and print head each time you fit a new roll of dye film. CLEANING IS EASY AND INEXPENSIVE If you have not already done so, order a cleaning kit - see the Cleaning Supplies box on the next page. A clean printer produces better quality cards, as dust and dirt are not present when the card is being printed. A clean printer is much less likely to require factory maintenance, and the print head in your printer will last for many years of normal use. Remember, large particles of dirt can damage the printhead. A clean printer produces better quality magnetic encoding. THE MAGICARD CLEANING SYSTEM There are three main parts to your printers cleaning system:
1. Clean the rollers using the Cleaning Cards:
You use a Cleaning Card to remove dirt from the print path. This should be used after every time you replace your dye-film (every 250 to 300 prints). If you print only a few cards a day, we recommend that you clean the printer more often. 2. Clean your PVC cards using the Cleaning Roller:
There is a disposable Cleaning Roller fitted inside the printer to remove dust &
debris from the surfaces of the PVC cards. This will prolong the life of the printhead and will help maintain image quality. It should be replaced every time you replace your dye-film. A replacement Cleaning Roller is supplied free with every new roll of dye-film. 3. Clean the printhead using the Cleaning Pen:
There is also a Cleaning Pen, which is used to clean the printhead. We recommend you use this if any lines are seen on printed cards. To clean your printer, follow the three main steps below Magicard Enduro User Manual

Ultra Electronics Ltd Cleaning supplies Two cleaning cards and a cleaning roller (sleeve & bar) are bundled with each new Enduro printer. You can also purchase additional cleaning kits, which include cleaning cards, rollers and pens:-

Ultra Electronics Ltd UPGRADING TO DOUBLE-SIDED:
For users with a single-sided Enduro printer, a double-sided upgrade kit can be purchased from your Magicard Dealer - Part No. 3633-0052. With this simple drop-in kit you can change your single-sided Enduro printer into a double-sided Enduro Duo and be printing double-sided (duplex) cards in seconds!
STEP 1 - Power-up your printer, display shows Enduro. STEP 2 - Open the lid and remove any dye film that may have been previously installed (this can be used again after the upgrade has been completed). STEP 3 - Load the special dye film supplied with the Upgrade Kit. STEP 4 - Close the lid. STEP 5 - The display now shows Enduro Duo. Start duplex printing!
Upgrade FAQs 1. Q: Do I need any tools or mechanical knowledge?
A: Not at all. You just need to load the upgrade dye film roll and the printer does everything else automatically. 2. Q: How does it work?
A: All Enduro printers have a card flipper mechanism. The RFID tag in the special upgrade dye film roll tells the printer to permanently change itself into a double-sided Enduro Duo. 3. Q: Can I use this upgrade on other Enduro printers?
A: No, once used in a printer it cannot be used to upgrade other machines. 4. Q: Do I have to keep this special upgrade dye film or spool for future use?
A: Just use the film from this special upgrade kit to print cards as normal. Keep the empty blue upgrade spool for reference and warranty confirmation. 5. Q: What kind of dye film should I use now?
A: The upgrade dye film will work the same as the standard MA250YMCKOK dye film, which is used to print color on the front and resin black on the rear of a card. You can also use the MA300YMCKO to print color on both sides of the card if you prefer. You will need to adjust your Driver settings depending on your requirements. Magicard Enduro User Manual
