Resolving the Cards being fed improperly off the Flipper Table
Symptom: Cards feed off the Flipper Table over the card feed path or under the card feed
path.
Step Procedure
1 Adjust the Flipper Offset.
a. Select Menu on the LCD Display.
b. Select Setup Printer and Flipper Offset.
c. Change the setting in small increments. (Note: A positive adjustment will
lower the side of the Flipper Table closest to the Exit Hopper.)
d. Press Select to save the new value.
2 Ensure the roller tension Spring is tensioned properly.
a. Manually insert a card under the Flipper Table Roller.
b. There should be sufficient resistance from the tensioning Spring to hold the
card in place when rotating the Flipper Table perpendicular to the card feed
path.
c. If the card falls off the Flipper Table when rotated, flip the Flipper Table
over and inspect the U-Shaped Spring (810480) that holds the white
tensioning roller in place.
d. Either replace the U-shaped Spring or remove and attempt to bend the
arms of the Spring down to provide more tension.
3 Verify Card Thickness
a. Ensure that the card stock that is being used conforms to the accepted
card thickness specification. (Note: Cards should be between 0.030” and
0.070” (.762mm to 1.778mm).)
4 Test the Flipper Home Sensor (140407).
a. Remove the screws from the rear cover.
b. Tilt the back cover outwards from the Printer
c. Using a digital voltmeter, connect the negative lead to its ground.
d. Connect the positive lead to Pin 4 of J58 on the Lamination Board.
• If covered, the voltage should read approximately .9 VDC.
• If uncovered, the Sensor should read 3.0 to 3.3 VDC..
