the printer is printing.
To order more cards, contact your card vendor. For information on card requirements,
see “Supplies and cards” on page B-1.

Do not touch the surface of cards before printing them. Oils on hands can cause
discolored printing. Handle cards by the edges or wear gloves to protect cards.
