      A 'Hand feed error' on your Ultra electronics Printer means the printer isn't detecting the card in the front slot. Make sure you're feeding the card into the front slot when the multi-colored button flashes YELLOW. Ensure the card is inserted far enough for the printer's rollers to grab it, and avoid pre-staging the card in the printer before printing.

      If the image is printed outside the color panels, resulting in a colored band across one end of the card with your Ultra electronics Printer, it could be due to a used roll of dye-film or a loosely wound take-up spool. Fit a new roll of dye-film and remove any loose dye-film.
