Frequently Asked Questions - Badgy 200 Evolis
How do I set up the Evolis Badgy 200 printer for the first time?
Unbox the printer, remove all packing materials, connect the power cable and USB cable to your computer, install the driver and Badgy Studio software from the included CD or download from Evolis website, then load cards into the input hopper and insert the ribbon cartridge.
What type of cards can the Badgy 200 print on?
The Badgy 200 prints on CR-80 PVC cards (85.6 x 54 mm) with thickness between 0.5 and 0.8 mm. It supports both glossy and matte finish cards. Do not use paper or non-PVC cards.
How do I replace the ribbon in the Badgy 200?
Open the top cover, remove the old ribbon by pulling it out from the cartridge, insert a new ribbon cartridge (e.g., YMCKO or monochrome) ensuring it clicks into place, then close the cover. The printer will automatically detect the ribbon type.
Why is my printer not recognizing the cards?
Ensure cards are placed correctly in the input hopper (print side up), the hopper is not overfilled (max 50 cards), and card thickness is within spec. Also check that the card guide is properly adjusted. If the issue persists, clean the pick roller using the included cleaning kit.
How do I clean the Badgy 200 printer?
Use the Evolis cleaning kit: apply cleaning fluid to the cleaning card, insert the cleaning card into the input hopper and run a cleaning cycle via the driver software. For external surfaces, use a soft dry cloth. Cleaning is recommended every 500 prints.
What should I do if the print quality is poor?
Check ribbon levels, replace if low. Clean the print head using the cleaning card. Ensure the card type is correct and the card surface is clean. Adjust print settings in Badgy Studio (like color balance or resolution). If streaks appear, clean the rollers.
Can the Badgy 200 print on both sides of a card?
No, the Badgy 200 is a single-sided printer. For dual-sided printing, consider the Evolis Badgy 300 or other dual-sided models. You can manually flip cards to print the other side, but alignment may be off.
How do I troubleshoot a paper jam?
Turn off the printer, open the top cover, gently remove any jammed cards by pulling in the direction of feed. Check for debris or torn ribbon. Close the cover and restart. If jams occur frequently, clean the pick roller and ensure cards are not curled.
What software is compatible with the Badgy 200?
The printer comes with Badgy Studio for design and printing. It also works with third-party software via standard Windows drivers (e.g., CardPresso, NiceLabel). Mac OS is not officially supported.
Where can I find spare parts or consumables for the Badgy 200?
Consumables (ribbons, cards, cleaning kits) and spare parts (print head, rollers) are available from Evolis authorized resellers or online stores. Use only Evolis original supplies for best results.
