The printer is pre-set at the factory to consistently feed and print a standard CR-80 3.375”L x 2.125”W x .030” (86mmL x 54mmW x .75mm) card size. When inserting cards which vary from this standard card size, one should make slight adjustments to the Card Input Guides and to the Card Separator Flap for consistent card feeding and for best output quality. This section explains how to make these adjustments and also how to adjust the printer’s built-in laminator for optimizing placement of the PolyGuard overlaminate.
