Return to printer solutions | Connection issues
Written By john.fieldsend

This issue can arise when the printer and PC are not communicating properly.

Following the procedure below can fix this issue if you are connected to the printer via USB:

  1. Power off the printer.
  2. Go to control panel> devices and printers and remove all Magicard icons.
  3. Then reboot the pc.
  4. Once back up power on the printer.
  5. Wait a couple of minutes and in Devices and printers should be a new Magicard icon.
  6. Try printing again.

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

Support were very helpful but sadly we didn't manage to get the 2010 machine working again and I had to buy a new machine.

Continuously followed up with Technical Support for status updates on badge printer. Responses were timely, but could have been elaborated better. Printer did return in excellent condition and overall, issues were resolved.

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!
