Can I print variable information, such as name lists and parking permit numbers?

Yes, the VariQuest Design Center software has this built-in function.

How can I adjust the heat/quality setting?

How can I avoid blowing a fuse in the Awards Maker power supply?

Always remember to plug the power supply into the Awards Maker before plugging it into the wall outlet. Also, make sure to move the parallel clamps out of the way to avoid a short in the power supply.
