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.

What customers say about our support...

Customer service were very patient and helpful when communicating with me to figure out the problem with the machine! Thank you for the repair, printer works again! It did take a little longer than expected to get it back, about three weeks instead of two.

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