2. Remove all wrapping from the card deck.
3. Holding the card deck by the sides, hold it vertically against a flat surface such as a
desktop. If the deck is too thick for your hand to hold it comfortably, use about half a deck
at a time.
4. Push the stack back and forth to an angle of about 45° from vertical, so as to separate all of
the cards.
5. Restore the card stack to its original squared-off condition, and place the cards in the input
hopper.
6. Note that there will be a “gap” in the card stack, with several cards lying flat and the cards
above angled upward, as shown in the exaggerated drawing below. This is normal and
ensures proper feeding.
Caution • Do not touch print surfaces of the cards; this can reduce print quality
Note • Static charges and edge burrs from the card die-cutting process can render individual
cards stuck together with significant adhesion force. These cards must be
physically
separated from each other before inserting into the feeder; if not separated, feeding or
printing problems may occur.
