SD260L/SD360/SD460 Installation and Administrator’s Guide 97
 
Card Storage
These guidelines apply to both printed and unprinted cards.
 Cards must be stacked so that they do not shift and rub against each other.
 When you store cards, make sure that no two cards contain images or blocks of color that 
come in contact with 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 magnets and other 
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.
 Cards must be at room temperature when they are used. If cards are stored in a cooler 
environment than the printer, allow them to reach room temperature before you use them.
