Loading Cards
This section shows how to load plastic cards into the P330i or P330m Printer. The printer can
use cards with a range of thickness from 10 mil (0.25 mm) to 60 mil (1.5 mm).
The printer can also load and print cards fed individually. Information on this is given in the
next chapter.
The plastic cards generally come in decks of 100 cards; the Card Feeder can hold a full deck of
100 30-mil cards. Cards sometimes will stick together; this can cause mis-feeding or double-
feeding. To avoid this, separate the cards before loading, as described in steps 2 through 4
below.
1. If the Card Feeder cover is closed, open it. The cover is hinged; lift it by the lip at the right
front corner.
Note • Do not mix cards of different thicknesses!
Note • DO NOT bend cards or touch print surfaces as this can reduce print quality. The
surface of the cards must remain clean and dust free. Always store cards in an enclosed
container. Ideally, use cards as soon as possible.
Note • For cards with magnetic stripe, refer to Appendix A for loading instructions.
Note • To reduce contamination and ensure better print quality, minimize the time the Card
Feeder cover is open.
