Evolis Pebble 4 with a gold monochrome ribbon. Printing on pre printed blank cards. The print is not complete, almost as if there is not enough pressure on the card as it is printed. All the letters are there but not all the letter. Originally it would not print anything but through adjusting settings it does now print. Any ideas.

It sounds like your ribbon setting in the printer-driver is set to the R2011 (or R2211) K ribbon. It should be set to R3011 for the full-color YMCKO ribbon. Check by locating the printer in the Windows Devices & Printers view (Win7: Start Button => Devices and Printers; WinXP: Start Button => Printers and Faxes). Locate your Pebble printer; right-click; select "Printing Preferences". Check your ribbon setting here and match to the ribbon that is loaded. NOTE that you can only make changes to this driver setting if you have Windows Admin rights with your Windows log-in ID. If you don't, have your systems administrator assist you with this by logging in with their ID.

Dear Sir,

Evolis pebble4 printer is a single side card printer . It doesn't has mechanism to flip the card.
If you want to flip the card automatically you must go for Evolis Dualys or higher model.

You may have installed ribbon incorrectly.
Align the gears of ribbon spindle with gears on printer and second important thing is that ribbon should come from up not from down.

Ckeck for proper ribbon settings in printer driver.
Just put a dot somewhere in a plain design and print

Just check for the ribbon type setting in driver . It may be required to be corrected . Also try downloading new firmware from Evolis site for Pebble3.

Use color ribbon and set ribbon type in properties

You must take following approach
1. There is a lever at feeder for thickness adjustment . Check it for proper thickness.
2. There is a hanging lever which acts as a card presence detector just where you place cards check if it is stuck and try to clean sensors aside it by blowing air .
3.Check if feeder motor is working by giving Mf;+ command
4.Check for proper ribbon setting.
5. Try downloading firmware which is available as an exe file for different models on Evolis site.
6. diagnostic software is also available on site.
7. You can also do self adjustment to adjust sensors.

Check if ribbon type is proper.
Do self adjustment at once.
Clean optical sensors emitting blue light just below you install ribbon in printer

the card are not being fed when printing a test card...

Hi, did you change the ribbon type at the printer properties? You must choose the black ribbon or monochrome in old drivers.
