Overviewof the Device

『

Basic Specification

』

Please refer to “PR-C101/PR-C101M Operation Guide”

Description of Mechanism

This device is composed of Card feeding part, Path switching mechanism, Printing part,

Card ejection part, Magnetic encoder, Contactless card reader/writer。

ⅰ

ⅰ.

.Card feeding part

Cards are loaded with face up. 100pcs of 0.76mm cards can be loaded.

By incorporating the multi-function card cassette, the cards can be loaded without

removing the cassette. Card separation can be made without adjusting the card

thickness. Card can be manually inserted from manual feed slot.

ⅱ

ⅱ.

.Cleaning part

Cleaning part consists of cleaning roller and cleaning assist roller. Dirt and dust on the

card is cleaned by the cleaning roller and, at the same time, dirt and dust on the

cleaning roller is cleaned by the cleaning assist roller.

ⅲ.Path switching part

When the card is fed, the path switching part is kept in horizontal direction. When

discharging the card to the card ejection part 1, the direction is changed in the slanting

direction and transports the card.

ⅳ.Printing part

The printing part has a thermal head of 300dpi which is positioned above the face of

the card. Printing is made in the heat transfer system, transferring the ink from the

ribbon while the card is moving.

.Card ejection part

There are two card ejection parts. Card ejection part 1 is located below the card

feeding part and card ejection part 2 is located at the opposite side. The card exit can

be optionally set to separate the normally printed card and error card.

ⅵ.Magnetic encoder (PR-C101M only) ・Contactless IC reader/writer mounting area

Magnetic encoder is mounted in PR-C101M. Consequently, contactless IC reader/writer

can not be mounted on this model. The contactless IC reader/writer can be mounted to

PR-C101.

?Explanation of the operation panel

Please refer to the “PR-C101/PR-C101M Operation Guide”.

?Mode of the operation panel

Operation panel of this printer has 3 types of operation modes.

『Normal mode

』

Status of the printer such as “error” is displayed while printing. When the printer is started,

it becomes this mode automatically.

Regarding the function and the operation, please refer to the “PR-C101/PR-C101M

Operation Guide”

『User mode

』

Set the function of the printer such as reissuing of the card. Also, displays the information

such as the version of the firmware etc.

Regarding the function and the operation, please refer to the “PR-C101/PR-C101M

Operation Guide”

『

Service mode

』

Individual printer adjustment such as print density etc is made in this mode. This mode is

also used for display of the sensor status and analysis of the troubles such as driving

of the actuators.

This paragraph describes the details of this mode.

The moving mark to the lower layer “>>” is shown at the right end of the LCD.

（Display “Service Mode >>”）

4)Press EXE key to display first menu.

2. Switching the menu

Service Mode is composed of the tree structure of menus of categorized functions. Switching

of the menus in the same layer and moving to the other layer is made by operation of the key.

Please refer to “Composition of the menu of Service Mode” regarding the composition

and categorization of the menu.

1)Switching menu in the same layer

Every time the MENU key is pressed, the menu changes. Pressing at the last menu

will come back to the first menu in loop.

2)Moving to the lower layer

Press the EXE key when the menu with >> mark at the right end to move to the

lower layer.

3)Moving to upper layer

To move one layer up from the present layer, press EXE key at the “Parent Menu

<<” in the same layer.

4)Finishing the Service Mode (to return to Normal Mode）

Select the “Normal Mode <<” in the uppermost layer and press EXE key to finish

Service Mode and return to Normal Mode.

Service Mode can also be finished by pressing CLEAR key at “Parent Menu <<”

at each lower layer.

.Execution of Menu

Regarding the function and operation of each menu, please refer to “Explanation of Functions

of Service Mode”.
