Media Loading Orientation

Caution • ONLY USE cards that comply with ISO 7810 & 7811 standards for magnetic stripe cards. The magnetic stripe must be flush to the surface of the card to work properly. Never use cards which have taped-on magnetic stripes.

When loading cards with magnetic stripes into the card feeder, ensure that the magnetic stripe is toward the right side when facing the printer and down, as shown below.

Note • Zebra approved HiCo & LoCo PVC cards are available. (Reference P100i printer Media List.)

Magnetic Encoder Cleaning

Use the standard cleaning card process as described in Chapter 5. This process cleans the most important parts of the printer; including the Printhead, Transport Roller, and Magnetic Encoder.
