Fine-Tuning the Card Separator Adjustment
Assembly (D840995)
See Drawing D841087.
The height of the Card Input Guide may need to be fine-tuned to accommodate a specific
card thickness. The example given below describes adjusting the Card Input Guide for a 30-
mil card.
Tools Needed:
• .005 in. Feeler Gauge (Or a single sheet of paper)
• Card (of appropriate thickness)
Step Procedure
1 Place the card in the Card Input Hopper with the trailing edge of the card over
the center line of the outside Feed Roller.
2 Position the Feeler Gauge (or sheet of paper) on top of the card and just under
the Card Separator.
3 Adjust the Card Thickness Adjustment Knob.
a. Locate the Card Thickness Adjustment Knob.
b. Adjust this knob to the setting that most closely matches the thickness of the
card.
4 Adjust the Card Separator Adjustment Assembly (D840995).
a. Move the Height Adjustment Thumb Screw up and down until the gauge or
the paper on top of the card just touches the clear rubber.
• If the gap above the card is too small, the card will not feed.
• If the gap above the card is too large, multiple cards may feed.
b. After completing this adjustment, be sure to test it for efficiency levels.
c. Feed a card with a few other cards into the hopper.
d. Place a full stack of cards in the Card Input Hopper and feed a few cards.
e. Continue to adjust the Card Separator Adjustment Assembly (as needed).
