## Questions & Answers

**Q: Red light flashing**
A: The red light means there is an error.  The most common error that causes a red light is the ribbon is not installed correctly.  You should double-check it.

**Q: Will this print on black pvc cards?**
A: Yes, this printer will print on any PVC CR80 card, but the YMCKO ribbon that this print comes with won't show up very well on a black card.  If you want to print on a black card, then it's better to use a White, Gold, or Silver monochrome ribbon.  IDP has those available.

**Q: Out of the box, can i import an excel database, even if it has to be done as a csv?**
A: Hi, thanks for the question. Yes, the SMART IDesigner software that come free with the printer has an import feature.  This will allow you to import a csv file.

**Q: Is this the same company as magic card, alpha card, and the rest?**
A: Hi.  No, IDP is a different manufacturer - no relation to the others you mentioned.  They've been around since 2005.  We chose them because they have good review and their support is very good.
