The photos on my ID cards look very pixelated or grainy.
■ For best photo-realistic output, you should always use high resolution 24-bit
color images. If scanning an image, always scan the image at a 24-bit color
setting, at the same size at which you will be printing, and at 300 dpi. If you
stretch or Òblow upÓ a small or low resolution image, you will always get a
pixelated or grainy effect when printing.
■ If capturing images with a digital camera or video camera, be sure the camera
has a high enough resolution for photos to be printed at about the same size at
which they were captured.
The printing gets cut off or is not centered on the card.
■ Check that the correct Card Size option is selected in the printer driver setup.
Improper card size settings will always send your image to the wrong area of
the card.
■ If the Card Size option is set properly and the printing is still cut off or not
centered, use the Calibrate/Image Placement option within the printer driver
to precisely center the image.
Two or more cards feed at the same time.
■ Be sure the cards you are using are not sticking together. Manually separate the
cards if you suspect they are sticking to one another. If separating cards,
remember not to touch the surface of the card where you intend to print, since
dirt or oil from your hands will impair print quality.
■ You may need to adjust the Card Separator Flap if feeding cards varying from
the standard CR-80 .030Ó (.75mm) card size. See Section 8-B for adjustment
instructions.
I can’t get the cards in between the Card Input Guides.
■ You may be trying to load cards that are too large. Be sure the cards being
loaded are within the accepted card sizes of 2.1Ó W x 3.25ÓL (53mmW x
82mmL) to 2.63Ó W x 3.88Ó L (67mmW x 98mmL). If the cards you are loading
are within these specifications and still do not fit within the Card Guides, you
may need to adjust the Card Input Guides. See Section 8-A for adjustment
instructions.
