Resolving the Card Skewed Image problems
Symptom: The self-test image appears skewed on the card.
Step Procedure
1 Determine if the film is tracking sideways.
a. Open the Lamination station and reload the Transfer Film so that Film moves
straight onto spool.
b. Remove (as needed) the old Film from the take-up spool and reattach the
Film in the proper location on the spool.
2
Determine if the Peel-Off Bar is not straight. (Note: The Peel-Off Bar should be
equidistant from the Lamination Assembly frame at both ends.)
a. Verify that the Peel-Off Bar and the Ribbon Peel Bar height is correct. (Note:
From the front of the HDP Card Printer, the Peel-Off Bar on the input side,
the drawing D841085, should be flush with the frame. The Ribbon Peel Bar
on the output side should have a 3/16-inch (4.5mm) gap between the frame
and the Ribbon Peel Bar.)
b. Remedy the offset printing raising the bar higher off of the card 0.005 inches
(by loosening the screws for the Peel-Off Bar) and carefully raising both
sides to the same degree. (Note: The Peel-Off Bar assembly should be
equidistant at both ends from the frame.)
3 Determine if the card is fed askew into the Transfer Station.
a. Interrupt the transfer process to ensure that the card has fed properly into the
Transfer Station.
• If the card has been fed skewed, ensure that the card size knob is set to
the correct card size.
• If the card size has been confirmed, manually feed a card into the Printer
using the Forward and Back soft key buttons on the display.
• Position the card next to the Spring loaded Card Pusher and ensure that
the Card Pusher is applying pressure to the card.
