Load Cards
Track the cards removed from inventory and loaded in the printer
following your organization’s card tracking procedure.
Follow your organization’s guidelines to load the correct cards in
hopper 1, hopper 2, and hopper 3.
Tips for Success
Use the following card handling tips as you load cards into the hopper.
Caution:
Do not touch the surface of cards before printing them.
(Oils on hands may result in reduced printing quality over time.)
Handle cards by the edges, or wear the gloves provided with the
printer when handling cards.
• Cards can stick together. Slide or fan cards to separate the edges.
• Orient all cards the same way.
• Load only ID-1 cards of 0.030-inch (0.75 mm) thickness.
• Load up to 70 cards in hopper 1, 50 cards in hopper 2, and 50 cards in
hopper 3.
• If only one hopper is being used, load cards into hopper 3 for fastest
throughput.
• Do not use cards that are bent or otherwise damaged.
• The cards are held in position with a card weight. Always use the card
weight to make sure that cards are picked and transported properly.
