Step 1. Open the Input Hopper Door.
Step 2. Remove the wrapping from the card deck.
Step 3. Holding the card deck by the sides, hold it vertically against a flat surface such as a
desktop. If the deck is too thick for your hand to hold it comfortably, use about half a
deck at a time.
Step 4. Push the stack back and forth to an angle of about 45
° from vertical, so as to separate
all of the cards.
Step 5. Restore the card stack to its original squared-off condition.
Step 6. Place the cards in the Input Hopper in the correct orientation as shown. Ensure that
the cards are seated flat on the bottom of the hopper.
Step 7. Close the Input Hopper Door.
Note • Static charges and edge burrs from the card die-cutting process can render individual
cards stuck together with significant adhesion force. These cards must be physically separated
from each other before inserting into the feeder; if not separated, feeding or printing problems
may occur.
