Card cartridge – The card cartridge holds blank cards to print.
Exception card slot – The exception card slot allows you to insert a single
card that is different from the cards in the card cartridge. For example, use
the exception card slot when you use the printer to manually print on both
sides of a card. The printer prints one side, and then ejects the card. To print
the other side, you can remove this card, flip it over, and insert it into the
exception card slot. (Note: Some printer models can perform this card flip
automatically. See The printer and its features on page 1-2 for more
information.)
Card output stacker – The card output stacker holds the cards after they
have been printed.
Ready button – The Ready button allows you to pause the printer while
printing a card, to cancel a print job and delete all data for the job, or to
create a printer test card:
