About Embosser Calibration
The ExpressCard embosser squeezes cards between two “knuckles.” Each knuckle can be adjusted higher
or lower to make sure embossed characters are being pressed deeply enough into the card, and to make
sure the card is being squeezed evenly on both sides (see
Figure 6-3 –Embosser Knuckles (REAR LEFT VIEW and PROFILE VIEW)
Each knuckle can be rotated to point one of its six faces toward the card being embossed. Each face
presses to a different depth.
+3 is the highest pressure setting
, and
-3 is the lowest pressure setting
.
You can read the current depth by looking at the shape carved into the side of the knuckle that faces the
card (see
Figure 6-4 - Embosser Knuckle Heights Key (+3 = Most Pressure, -3 = Least Pressure)
