Installing Blank Cards into the Card Hopper (DTC4500)
Using the Dual Hopper
Caution: Do not run the cards with a contaminated, dull or uneven surface through the
Printer.
Step Procedure
1 Pre-instruction.
• Printing onto such cards will ultimately lead to poor print quality and will
greatly reduce the life of the Printhead. Card Types include PVC or PVC
finish.
• Cards eject into the Output Hopper or Reject Hopper.
• Each Hopper holds 100 cards.
• The DTC4500 is available with two (2) Hopper configurations: IN/OUT
Hopper and Dual Hopper
• Certain types of smart card chips are raised slightly above the cards
surface which may result in poor color transfer. Design the card with white
space surrounding the chip. (Note: The Fargo DTC4500 Printer is capable
of printing single load cards and multiple feed cards (batch mode).)
• To print using single feed, simply remove all cards from the Card Hopper,
leave the Card Hopper door closed and place a card in the single Feed
Card Slot (which can be used repeatedly).
• Again, the cards should be loaded with the print side down and (if
applicable) the magnetic strip up and towards the front of the Printer.
