Printing a Sample Card

“Single Feed Options” allows Disabling or Enabling Single Feed Support.

If “Disable Single Feed Support” is selected, when the printer runs out of cards in the feeder, the LCD display will read OUT OF CARDS. To continue, press the panel button.

If “Enable Single Feed Support” is selected, when the printer runs out of cards in the feeder it will wait until a card is inserted in the single-card slot or cards are loaded in the feeder, and then will automatically continue.
