Loading cards
Load cards when the printer’s LCD panel shows the
message “Ready” or “No Card”, and not when printer
operations have stopped due to an error. Cards can
also be loaded when the power supply is not switched
on. If there is a drop in the volume of remaining cards
(under about 25 cards with a thickness of 0.76mm), the
electronic beep sounds before every feeding.
(See p.34 in this manual.)
When “Loading” is displayed on the LCD panel, do
not open the card tray under any circumstances.
The unit is currently feeding cards. If a message
other than the one above is displayed, cards can be
loaded even while the unit is printing. However, you
are recommended to load cards when the unit is not
printing.
To prevent defective printing caused by
suspended printing or vibration as a result of
opening and closing the card tray, load cards
with care.
