•  Also check the 
Card Registration Offset Adjustment (p. 5-
36) to make sure that is not the cause. 
Undesirable white space on the trailing edge of the card.

the end of the card.

Frequent ribbon breaks at the leading or trailing edge of a 
card. 
•  Increase the image clipping to prevent the printhead 
from overheating the ribbon before printing should 
begin.
