Loading cards

Load cards when the printer’s LCD panel shows the message “Ready” or “No Card”, and not when printer operations have stopped due to an error. Cards can

also be loaded when the power supply is not switched on. If there is a drop in the volume of remaining cards (under about 25 cards with a thickness of 0.76mm), the electronic beep sounds before every feeding.

(See p.34 in this manual.)

When “Loading” is displayed on the LCD panel, do not open the card tray under any circumstances.

The unit is currently feeding cards. If a message other than the one above is displayed, cards can be loaded even while the unit is printing. However, you are recommended to load cards when the unit is not printing.

To prevent defective printing caused by suspended printing or vibration as a result of opening and closing the card tray, load cards with care.

of the card before purchasing.
