Does the Prima 4 or Prima 8 printer have a Pass Through mode?

Return to printer solutions | Driver settings
Written By john.fieldsend

The Prima 4 & 8 Printers cannot be used in “Pass Through” mode and move a card directly to the laminating unit without printing. (i.e. cards that have already been printed and need laminating only).

Reason:
  1. The final movement of the card prior to ejecting is performed by the Retransfer Ribbon which is only used during the printing cycle.
  2. The Prima 4 Laminator does not have a stand alone function, it can only work with the Printer.

The Support techs at Magicard fixed the card printer and got it back to us promptly. It was packed very securely and we received it in just a couple weeks of sending it in.

Very speedy, helpful and was able to speak immediately with a technician on the phone

4 stars were given because the printer was literally bought a month and a half ago and instead of just swapping it out with a new one, we had to go through the manufacturers warranty process. I will say, from the time I shipped it out to the time I got it back was great. Hardly any time passed.

Thank you so much! The ID printer is working great and we really appreciate the honesty of your technicians! We could have easily been billed for repairs that weren't done, as our printer is no longer under warranty, but you didn\'t charge us at all. The technician superstar told me that it was a simple loose wire, which he reattached, and they shipped it back at no charge. Thank you!

It was strange what my problem was but support was quick to isolate it with a few pics sent to them. Very happy with the support.
