Since we launched our new Technical Support section in October of last year, we’ve been busy adding more content to help your ID card system stay running in top shape. Have you checked out the Tech Support section yet?

Printer Support

Regularly cleaning your printer, updating the firmware and drivers, enabling new features – using an ID card printer requires some maintenance and upkeep on your part to keep in working for years to come.

Software Support

ID card software allows you to design completely custom ID cards, so you will have many features to learn as you set up your software. Our AlphaCard ID Suite Support section has a ton of resources for you including:

  • An online version of our software help file

Supplies Support

Although they aren’t the stars of an ID card system the same way the printer and software are, properly caring for your ID supplies is essential to making sure your cards print without smudges or broken ribbons. You’ll learn how to fix a ribbon that’s torn during printing and the best way to store and handle blanks ID cards in the Supplies Technical Support section.

Within each printer you’ll also find videos and how-to guides for loading cards and ribbons into your printer and more.
