The Color ID Card
Printer is pre-set at
the factory to
accept and
consistently feed
and print a
standard CR-80
3.375ÓL x 2.125ÓW x
.030Ó (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 printerÕs built-
in laminator for
optimizing
placement of the
PolyGuard
overlaminate.
Two Card Input Guides reside within the Card
Hopper. The left Card Input Guide, as you are looking
straight into the Card Hopper, is adjustable to
accommodate varying card widths. To adjust this Card
Input Guide, refer to the following steps:
1. Open the Card Hopper Door located on the right-
hand side of the printerÕs exterior by grasping the top
of the door and pulling straight down. Allow the door
to swing completely open.
2. As you are looking straight into the Card Hopper,
locate the left Card Input Guide and loosen the two
screws which fasten it to the back plate of the Card
Hopper.
3.
Once these two screws have been loosened, it is
possible to move the left Card Input Guide slightly to
the right or to the left. Insert the stack of cards.
4. Adjust the left Card Input Guide so it rests flush
against the side of the card stack, and re-tighten the two
screws loosened in the previous steps. Adjustment to
the left Card Input Guide is now complete. If the cards
being inserted are 2.3Ó or wider, refer to section B.

B. Adjusting the
Internal Card
Guide Two Internal Card Guides reside inside the printer.
These Internal Card Guides are also adjustable to
accommodate varying card widths. Although these
card guides are spring-loaded and will automatically
adjust to slight card width variations, a manual
adjustment must be made in order for the printer to
accept cards 2.3Ó or wider.
Please refer to the following steps to adjust both
Internal Card Guides:
1. Open both top covers of the printer by pressing
the Cover Release Buttons. Allow the covers to swing
up and open.
