Loading cards
When loading cards, open ONLY the hopper
cover, left. (If you open the main cover, the
interlock switch disables the printer, resulting
in a start-up delay after the cover is closed.)
1. Card orientation in the hopper: the back
side of the card faces up, and the mag
stripe of the card is to the front of the
printer.
2. Load the magazine a few cards at a time,
holding the cards by the edges as shown.
Don’t try to load an entire pack at one
time, because that would mean handling
the upper and lower surfaces - see STOP,
above right.
3. Place the weight on top of the card stack.
Note • If there is no mag stripe, and if there is
pre-printed information on the card, your system
administrator will tell you which edge of the
card goes to the front.
Caution • Plastic cards attract dust and dirt.
Keep them clean! Handle them by the edges
and avoid touching the surfaces. Do not use
cards that are dirty or have been dropped on
the floor.
