Your 4200 Series Card Printer is pre-set at the factory to accept and consistently feed and print a standard CR-80 3.375ÓL x 2.125ÓW x .030Ó (86mmL x 54mmW x

.75mm) card size. When inserting cards which vary from this standard card size, one should make slight adjustments to the Card Guides and to the Card Separator Flap for consistent card feeding and for best output quality.

A. ADJUSTING THE CARD INPUT GUIDES

Two Card Input Guides reside within the Card Hopper. The left Card Input Guide, as you are looking straight into the Card Hopper, is adjustable to accommodate varying card widths. To adjust this Card Input Guide, refer to the following steps:

1.Open the Card Hopper Door located on the right-hand side of the printer and remove any cards which may be installed.

2.As you are looking straight into the Card Hopper, locate the Card Guide Adjustment Screw on the right-hand side of the Card Hopper and loosen it by rotating it counter-clockwise with a phillips head screw driver.
