Loading Cards into the Printer

The Card Printer prints onto standard CR-80 size cards (3.375L x 2.125W x .030 / 86mmL x 54mmW x .75mm), which have a clean, level, polished PVC surface.

•Although the Printer is equipped with card cleaning Rollers, it is very important to always print onto cards designed for direct-to-card, thermal printing. (Note: For this reason, a special card stock is available which is specifically designed for printing with the Printer.)

•This card stock provides a level, polished PVC surface free of fingerprints, dust and any other types of embedded contaminants.

•In addition, this card stock is packaged and shipped in dust-free plastic bags. To order compatible card stock, contact the authorized reseller.

Caution: Never run cards with a contaminated, dull or uneven surface through the Printer. Printing onto such cards will ultimately lead to poor print quality and will greatly reduce the life of the Printhead. In addition, always store the card stock in its original packaging or in a clean, dust-free environment. Do not print onto cards which have been dropped or soiled. Printheads damaged by contaminated or poor quality cards will automatically void the Printhead’s factory warranty.
