How to Calibrate a Ribbon Sensor on a Securion
If your Securion ID card printer is not properly recognizing your ribbon, either by not recognizing the type of ribbon or acknowledging that a ribbon has been replaced, you will need to calibrate the ribbon sensors on your Securion printer.
Please note, a YMCKO ribbon must be installed to run the calibration.
To Calibrate Your Printer
- Go to your computer’s Devices and Printers folder, and right click on the Evolis Securion. Choose Printing Preferences.
- Click on the Tools tab, and click the Dialog with Printer button.
- In the Command bar, type Sa;c (must be exact) and click send. The printer will then check the color sensor. The answer should be OK.
Your printer ribbon sensors should now be calibrated and working properly. If you continue to experience problems, or if either test resulted in an answer other than OK, please contact AlphaCard technical support.
