■ Be sure the cards are inserted all the way into the
printer and that you havenÕt inserted more than
100 standard sized cards.
■ YouÕre trying to feed a card thatÕs too thick. Be
sure the cards you are using fall within the .020Ó
to .060Ó accepted card thickness range.
■ If feeding thicker cards, you may need to adjust
the Card Separator Flap as described in Section 9.
■ The in-feed rollers are extremely dirty. Clean
these rollers according to the directions in
Section 8.
■ Be sure the cards you are using are not sticking
together. Manually separate the cards if you
suspect they are sticking to one another.
The printing gets
cut off or is not
centered on the
card.
■ Check that the correct card size is selected in the
printer driver setup. Improper card size settings
will always send your image to the wrong area of
the card.
Two or more
cards feed at the
same time. ■ Be sure the cards you are using are not sticking
together. Manually separate the cards if you
suspect they are sticking to one another. If
separating cards, remember not to touch the
surface of the card where you intend to print,
since dirt or oil from your hands will impair print
quality.
■ You may need to adjust the Card Separator Flap
if feeding cards varying from the standard CR-80
3.375ÓL x 2.125ÓW x .030Ó (85.6mmL x 54.0mmW)
card size. See Section 9 for adjustment

the accepted card sizes of 2.1Ó W x 3.0ÓL
(53mmW x 76mmL) to 2.6Ó W x 3.7Ó L (66mmW x
94mmL). If the cards you are loading are within
these specifications and still do not fit within the
Card Guides, you may need to adjust the Card
Input Guides. See Section 9 for adjustment
instructions.
