Why Magicard Rio 2e doesn't feed cards and shows 'Printer may be out of cards' error?
If cards are failing to feed from the hopper of your Magicard printer and you're seeing a “Printer may be out of cards” error message, ensure the card hopper is filled with cards. Also, the rear hopper rollers may be dirty, requiring cleaning with a fresh cleaning card. If there is a squeaking noise, the card thickness adjustment might be too small, so adjust it to the correct thickness. Static can also cause cards to stick together; remove the cards, fan them to separate them, and then return them to the hopper.
Why are magnetic encoding results inconsistent with Magicard Rio 2e?
If you are experiencing inconsistent magnetic encoding results with your Magicard printer, it could be because the card is slipping when moving over the recording head or due to incorrect cards being used (HI-Co / Lo-Co).

Why are there small areas of wrong color on Magicard Rio 2e output?
If you observe small areas of wrong color on cards printed by your Magicard printer, it could be due to dust or debris on the card surface, oily deposits, or an uneven card surface. Jagged scratches may be caused by slight cutting of dye film or printhead density being too high. To resolve this, ensure cards are kept clean and protected from dust and debris. Replace cards if they are contaminated or have an uneven surface. Reduce the printhead power setting, or adjust the image start or end position if the film is being cut.

Why is the dye film cutting during print with my Magicard Rio 2e Printer?
If your Magicard printer is cutting the dye film during printing, it may be due to the dye film sticking to the card or the image printing beyond the card's edges.

If the cutting occurs at the beginning or end of the film panel, adjust the image start or end position accordingly.
