Issues
Currently, the printer has CMYK layer seperation. This creates a chromatic aberration effect on any cards printed in colour. In the manual, it seems they suggest that you "return it for service to re-tension the transfer/ink ribbons. I can't find any details on this process online, nor any service manuals.
HOW TO PRINT:
- prepare your files. create a PDF of what you want to print with the following page settings: 2.23in x 3.51in 600dpi
- put that sucker on a flash drive (or burn it to cd if you nasty) and stick it into the eMachine desktop that sits to the right of the card printer. the computer should probably be turned on.
- VNC into it. the details are on the front of the computer.
- open up and print as normal
- NOTE: when selecting "double sided", the second side will be in monochrome. if you want both sides to be in colour, you will need to do 2 print jobs, running the card through twice. put the already once-printed card at the bottom of the stack, printed side down
TODO: put it on the network somehow so we don't have to VNC in
