54 P640i Card Printer User Guide 980541-001 Rev. A
on preceding page). If the truck fails to pull the card
out of the flip station after the flipping action, chances
are: 1. The card position is wrong, see above, or; 2.
The carrier is not coming down all the way (repeat the
Flip Station Calibration routine in Advance Utilities,
preceding page).
Another test for this: power down the printer, then
power up, listening for the flip station reset action.
Open the main cover, then push gently down on the
carrier (at the back
, close to the guide shaft). If there is
any downward travel, increase the parameter (make it
less negative) - but don’t overdo it, because this will
increase the reset noise and potentially damage the
carrier drive.
Insertion Height Adjust : “Insertion height” is the
intermediate (non flipping) elevation to which the
card is driven for insertion into the laminator. The
Insertion Height Adjust
parameter is the number of
motor steps, more or less, relative to the Edge B event
at the photo sensor (diagram on preceding page).
Adjust the parameter if the ejector arm misses the
card. Raise the insertion height by increasing the
parameter (making it less negative), and vice versa.
Flip Station Max Height Adjust
The card carrier needs to move high enough to actuate
the flipping mechanism, but should not over-travel
excessively.
The Max Height Adjust
parameter is the number of
motor steps, more more or less, relative to the Edge C
event at the photo sensor (diagram on preceding
page). Increase this parameter (make it less negative)
only if there is an occasional failure to flip.
Reduce this value if the carrier hits the upper bracket
holding the guide shaft. If the flip station is not
flipping
reliably,
be sure it
is a
travel
issue
rather
than
anything
else by
opening
the
printer
cover,
then
moving
the flip
station
up by
hand to activate the flip. If it doesn’t flip, the
mechanism itself is defective, so adjusting the height
parameter will have no effect.
If you overdo the height adjustment - sending the
carrier too high - the U-shaped azimuth adjust
molding may be driven off the end of its track. This
causes the carrier to wobble as the “U” re-engages on
the way down.
