2.4 Placement of Blank Cards into the Input Card Hopper
The FARGO DTC4500E Card Printer is capable of printing single feed cards and multiple
feed cards (batch mode). To print a single feed card, remove all cards from the input card
hopper, leave its door closed and place a card in the single feed card slot (which can be used
repeatedly).
1 Load the cards with the print side down and (if applicable) the magnetic strip up and
towards the front of the printer.
Caution: Do not run the cards with a contaminated, dull or uneven surface
through the Printer.
• Printing onto such cards may lead to poor print quality and can greatly reduce the life
of the printhead.
• Card types include PVC or PVC finish.
• Cards eject into the output hopper or reject hopper.
• Each input hopper holds 100 cards.
• Certain types of smart card chips are raised slightly above the cards surface, which
may result in poor color transfer. Design the card with white space surrounding the
chip.
• To print using single feed, remove all cards from the input card hopper, leave its door
closed. Place a card in the single feed card slot (which can be used repeatedly).
2
Open the input card hopper door.
3
Press the card hopper load lever down until the card tray locks into place.
4 Load up to 100 cards into the single hopper or 200 cards into the dual hopper with the
print side down.
If using cards with a magnetic stripe, the magnetic stripe should be loaded with the stripe
up and to the front of the Printer.
5
Close the input card hopper door to release the lever to the printing position.
