C.ADJUSTING THE CARD SEPARATOR FLAP

The Card Separator Flap resides inside the printer and helps prevent two cards from feeding simultaneously. This flap is adjustable to accommodate varying card thicknesses. Although the Card Separator Flap will automatically adjust to slight card thickness variations, a manual adjustment should be made in order for the printer to consistently feed single cards which vary from the standard CR-80 .030” card thickness. To adjust the Card Separator Flap, refer to the following steps:

1.Open the Card Hopper Door located on the right-hand side of the printer’s exterior by grasping the top of the door and pulling straight down. Allow the door to swing completely open.

2.Remove all cards from the Card Hopper.

3.Open the top-right cover of the printer by pressing its Cover Release Button. Allow the cover to swing up and open.

4.Remove the ribbon from the printer.
