Correcting Card Curl Depending on the cards you use, even given optimum secondary transfer conditions (speed and temperature), cards may curl. After secondary transfer, by correcting card curl (decurl), you can reduce the amount of curl. Note You can also change the settings by using the printer driver (See "Opening the Printer Driver Settings Screen" on page 89). The factory default status is not to carry out decurl. Secondary transfer conditions (speed and temperature) that have not been optimized, and application of excess heat are major causes of cards curling after printing. Prior to correction using decurl, adjust the secondary transfer conditions. See "Setting the Types of Card to Use" on page 44 for adjustment of secondary transfer conditions. 1 Switch from Normal Mode to User Mode. See "Switching to User Mode" on page 24 for details on how to switch to User Mode. 2 Press the Key until [Card Setup] is displayed, then press the SET Key. 3 Press the Key until [Decurl (Front)] is displayed, then press the SET Key.
