Installation and Setup

Loading Cards

Caution • Do not touch print surfaces of the cards; this can reduce print quality

2.Remove all wrapping from the card deck.

3.Holding the card deck by the sides, hold it vertically against a flat surface such as a desktop. If the deck is too thick for your hand to hold it comfortably, use about half a deck at a time.

4.Push the stack back and forth to an angle of about 45° from vertical, so as to separate all of the cards.

Note • Static charges and edge burrs from the card die-cutting process can render individual cards stuck together with significant adhesion force. These cards must be physically separated from each other before inserting into the feeder; if not separated, feeding or printing problems may occur.

5.Restore the card stack to its original squared-off condition, and place the cards in the input hopper.

6.Note that there will be a “gap” in the card stack, with several cards lying flat and the cards above angled upward, as shown in the exaggerated drawing below. This is normal and ensures proper feeding.
