Load cards
The card hopper can hold approximately 250, .030” (.75mm) cards. The cards 
are loaded and held in position with a card bracket. Make sure that magnetic 
stripe or smart cards are loaded in the proper orientation for processing.
1
Open the card hopper.
2
Slide the card bracket to the left until it latches.
3
Insert cards. See the diagrams below for the correct card orientation.
—  Load magnetic stripe cards with the magnetic stripe down and 
facing the card bracket.
—  Load smart cards with the smart card chip toward the back of the 
card hopper, facing the card feed roller. 
4
Slide the card bracket back into position carefully so cards are not 
disturbed and your fingers do not get pinched.
5
Close the card hopper.
Tips: Handling cards
Do not open the card 
hopper when “Loading” 
is displayed on the LCD 
panel.
Do not touch the 
surface of cards before 
printing them. (Oils on 
hands will reduce 
printing quality.)
Handle cards by the 
edges or wear cotton 
gloves.
Cards can stick 
together. Slide or fan 
cards to separate the 
edges.
Orient all cards the 
same way. 
Do not use cards that 
are bent or otherwise 
damaged.
