Adjusting the Card Lamination Module
The HDP600 supports the attachment of an optional Card Lamination Module. This Module
can be ordered pre-installed on the Printer from the factory or can be ordered separately as a
field upgradeable Module. Once attached, the Card Lamination Module allows you to apply
Fargo certified overlaminates for more secure, tamper-resistant cards. This section explains
all aspects of the Card Lamination Module's operation and the overlaminate materials
available.

IMPORTANT! Fargo Card Printers require highly specialized Print Ribbons to function
properly. To maximize Printer life, reliability, printed card quality and durability, you must use
only Fargo Certified Supplies. For this reason, your Fargo warranty is void, where not
prohibited by law, if you use non-Fargo Certified Supplies. To order additional materials,
please contact your authorized reseller.

Adjusting the Card Flattener
The Card Lamination Module provides an adjustable Card Flattener that allows you to fine-
tune the flatness of laminated cards. This flattener works by reverse bending cards as they
eject from the Laminator while they are still warm.

In most cases, card warpage is only a concern when laminating on a single side of card
stock which has a PVC-based core rather than a polyester-based core. Cards with a PVC-
based core are not as heat resistant and are not recommended for use when laminating

Open the Card Lamination Module.
2
Remove the overlaminate material if installed.

If laminated cards are bowing upward, turn the Card Flattener Adjustment
Lever clockwise. (Note: This pushes the flattener Roller down to increase the
reverse bending pressure. For best results, turn the knob one full rotation, then
print and laminate a test card. Repeat this process as necessary.)
