SP Series Info Central:Supplies e-Guide
• Do not use a rubber band to bind blank cards together.
• If you drop a card on the floor, do not insert it into the printer.
Card storage
These guidelines apply to both printed and unprinted cards.
• Cards must be stacked so that they will not shift and rub against each other.
• When storing cards, make sure that no two cards contain images or blocks of color that will come in
contact with each other.
• Make sure that the magnetic stripe on one card does not come in contact with the magnetic stripe on
another card.
• Make sure that cards with magnetic stripes are stored away from magnets and other magnetic objects.
Card storage specifications
The cards should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark place. Excessive light can cause yellowing of cards on
exposed edges. Keep cards in their original packaging.
Cards should be at room temperature when they are installed in the printer and used. If cards are stored in
a cooler environment than the printer, allow them to reach room temperature before using.
