Card Handling
These guidelines apply to unprinted cards.
 Any debris or particles on blank card stock can reduce card quality and damage the system.
 Grease or oils, such as oils from your fingers, also reduce card quality. Keep cards completely
clean. Do not touch the print surface of a card with your fingers or hands. Handle blank card
stock by the edges only.
 Do not use a rubber band to bind blank cards together.
 If you drop a card on the floor, clean it using a lint-free cloth before using it in the system.
Card Storage Guidelines
These guidelines apply to both blank card stock and processed cards.
 Use cards that are at room temperature. If cards are stored in a cooler environment than the
printer, allow them to reach room temperature before using.
 Stack cards so that they will not shift and rub against each other.
 Make sure that the magnetic stripe on one card does not come in contact with the magnetic
stripe on another card.
 Make sure that cards with magnetic stripes are stored away from magnetic objects.
 Store cards in a cool, dry, and dark place. Excessive light can cause yellowing of cards on
exposed edges.
 Keep cards in their original packaging.
