Adjusting the Internal Card Guide
The Internal Card Guide is what holds the card in position as it feeds through the Card
Lamination Module.
Step Procedure
1 Feed a blank card into the module by inserting it through the Output Hopper
and reverse feeding it by pressing the Lamination Module's Resume button.
Manually position the card so its edge is flush with the Card Guide Rail. See
Display A below.
2 Slightly loosen the two screws which fasten the Internal Card Guide to the
Printer's main chassis. See Display B below.
3 Move the Internal Card Guide so there is a slight space of about .010"/.25mm
between the card edge and the Internal Card Guide as indicated below.
When adjusting the Internal Card Guide, be sure it always remains parallel to
the Card Guide Rail and card edge. See Display B below.
4 Always make very slight adjustments to the Internal Card Guide and run a test
print after each adjustment until the optimum position is found. See Display B
below. (Note: Be sure the Internal Card Guide always remains parallel to the
card path and that the screws loosened in Step 2 are retightened after each
adjustment.)
