The card reader in my ID3 cab doesn't print onto the front of the cards, it does everything else, dispenses, reads & writes etc but the front card data is not printed on the front.
Do they use some crude ink system or themal system that needs replenishing ?
I've never worked on one before so just want to know how they work before i start ripping it to bits.
I think there are a few games that incorporate a printer, but Initial D is not one of them. I have 2 card readers and have read the game's manuals and there is no attached printer nor is there any mention of one.

That would explain things. Then any printing on cards would only to apply to InitialD 4 and beyond. This would also confirm that ID 1-3 do not use/support printing.

That's very strange. I've played Initial D and there was never any printing involved. And I see no mention of it in the game's manual. I even have the entire card reader assembly! Maybe it's a UK thing? :smt017
