Set Automatic or Manual Printing on the CR1000
Print activation determines how the CR1000 triggers a stamp - automatically when a card reaches the sensor or manually by pressing the push bar. Automatic printing is ideal for fast, hands-free operation, while manual printing gives you more control over placement. You can also choose semi-automatic or combination modes for flexibility.
Watch this video for a quick walkthrough of changing print activation method on your CR1000.
