computer).
11. Once the printing job is complete, the card is ejected from the printer.
Feeding One Card at a Time
A Manual Feed Slot is available below the Card Input Hopper for feeding single cards. The
Card Input Hopper must be empty for single-card feeding to work properly.
1. Open the Card Feeder cover. Verify that there are no cards in the feeder, then close the
Card Feeder cover.
2. Insert a single card into the slot below the Card Feeder. Do not feed more than one card at
a time.
Note • For cards thinner than 20 mils (0.51 mm), the card design must be limited to (1) no
more than two 30 mm x 30 mm areas of full color, (2) black information (text and barcode,
for example) must cover no more than 50% of the card area, and (3) there must be at least a
5mm unprinted border along all edges.
For cards thicker than 40 mils (1.02 mm), the card design must have at least a 5mm unprinted
border along all edges.
For cards with thickness between 20 mils (0.51 mm) and 40 mils (1.02 mm), these
restrictions do not apply; full color printing is permitted edge to edge in both directions.
Note • If single-card feeding will be the normal mode of operation, you may select that mode
through the driver software. In single-card feed mode, the card will not be printed until the
print job has been sent to the printer and the card to be printed has been inserted into the
single-card feed slot
