Installing Blank Cards into the Card Hopper (DTC4500)

Using the Single and Dual Hopper

Caution: Do not run the cards with a contaminated, dull or uneven surface through the

Printer.

Step

Procedure

Pre-instruction.

• Printing onto such cards will ultimately lead to poor print quality and will

greatly reduce the life of the Printhead. Card Types include PVC or PVC

finish.

• Cards eject into the Output Hopper or Reject Hopper.

• Each Hopper holds 100 cards.

• The DTC4500 is available with two (2) Hopper configurations: Single and

Dual Hopper

• 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. (Note: The Fargo DTC4500 Printer is capable

of printing single load cards and multiple feed cards (batch mode).)

• To print using single feed, simply remove all cards from the Card Hopper,

leave the Card Hopper door closed and place a card in the single Feed

Card Slot (which can be used repeatedly).

• Again, the cards should be loaded with the print side down and (if

applicable) the magnetic strip up and towards the front of the Printer.
