The Color ID Card Printer will hold a maximum of
100 cards (based on a standard CR-80 card size) in
its Card Hopper. The Printer automatically feeds
each card and adjusts to each cardÕs particular size
and thickness. Significantly larger or thicker cards,
however, may require slight printer adjustments
for consistent printing. See Section 9 for details on
such adjustments. To load the cards into the
printer, refer to the following steps:
1. Remove a stack of 100 or fewer cards from the
card packaging. Do not touch the area of the card
where you intend to print. Oil or dirt from your
hands can impair print quality.
2.
Open the Card Hopper Door located on the
right-hand side of the printerÕs exterior by
grasping the top of the door and pulling down.
Allow the door to swing completely open.
3. Insert the stack of cards into the printer by
depressing the spring loaded Card Input Tray and
placing the cards between the Card Input Guides
(see Section 9 for further Card Input Guide
information). Always load cards with the top or
primary print side facing up. If inserting cards
with a magnetic stripe,
be sure that the magnetic
stripe is positioned downward and that the stripe
is oriented toward the rear of the printer. If
inserting smart cards or cards with a pre-punched
slot,
be sure the smart card chip is positioned
upward and that the chip or slotted end of the card
is inserted first.
D. Loading Cards
into the Printer
NOTE
4. Once the cards
have been inserted,
remove the top card
and throw it away if
you suspect it has been
contaminated with oil
from your fingertips.
Close the Card Hopper
Door. The cards will
automatically feed off
the top of the stack.
The printer’s 100 card capacity is figured using a
standard CR-80 3.375”L x 2.125”W x .030” (85.6mmL
x 54.0mmW) card size. Please be aware of this when
inserting cards of varying thicknesses.
