rotation.
2 Verify the flipper clutch operation.

b. Reapply power to the Printer. Verify that the Flipper Table rotates and
stops level with the card feed path.
3 Test the flipper home Sensor.

b. Using a digital voltmeter, connect the negative lead to its ground.
c. Connect the positive lead to Pin 2 of J8.

The Rollers on the lamination side of the Printer should begin to roll.
The card feed Rollers on the card path and on the Flipper Table should
be rolling.
The platen roller and the flattener roller should be rolling.
c. Replace (as needed) the Lamination Stepper Motor if none of the Rollers
are turning. Inspect the gear configuration in the front of the Printer if any
one of the Rollers is not turning.
