If you've never used an ID card printer or card printing system, it can be a bit intimidating to start. But with ID Wholesaler, it really doesn’t need to be. You’ve got some options when it comes to getting started, and we can help!
Tips for Getting Started
If you're feeling confident in your technical abilities, all ID card printers come with a user guide or manual that contains some type of quick-start guide. These are pretty simple instructions that you’ll be able to easily follow, like walking you through connecting the printer and installing the printer driver. The printer driver is what allows you to control the printer settings.
Once you’ve completed the installation of the printer and the driver, you’ll want to load the printer ribbon and cards into the printer. When it comes to loading the cards, hold them by the edges and fan them apart, being careful not to touch the face of the cards. This will help remove any static charges that may cause feeding and printing issues.
When the ribbon and cards are loaded into the printer, print a test card. If you’re going to print on proximity cards, we recommend printing the first few cards on regular PVC cards until all adjustments are made.
On a side note...all of our ID card printers include a free six-month subscription to CloudBadging ID Badge Management Software. It's a highly secure and powerful cloud-based software that's by far the most intuitive ID software on the market. With step-by-step guides, helpful tips, and integrated chat to link you to our Tech Support department, you'll be a pro in no time!
