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

Return to printer solutions | Driver settings

Written By john.fieldsend 3rd May 2023

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:

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

Same day reply and gave all the information I could need to fix the issue I had and it worked first time

Printer model: Rio Pro 360

We ended up not getting the piece repaired due to the cost but support was great about getting back to me which I appreciate.

Printer model: Prima 4

The support team was very responsive and provided the information needed to address the issue.

Printer model: Rio Pro

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.

Printer model: Magicard 600

Overall a good experience. Seemed quite expensive to repair our printer we sent in for RMA considering we could buy a brand new printer (newer model) for half the price..
