Laminate Problems
980006-001 Rev. A Zebra P630i & P640i Card Printer Service Manual 121
Card jammed in laminator
• Dings or rough edges on the card (depending on vendor, card quality can vary, even
from batch to batch).
• Either of the cutters fails to cut, so the card is stopped dead by a “tail” of laminate,
now firmly held by the laminate feed roller, which can not be rotated by tugging on
the laminate.
• Heated Rollers, Infeed Rollers, Or Outfeed Rollers not rotating.
Corrective Action:
Step 1. Turn off the printer; allow it to cool for about 10 minutes.
Step 2. Unscrew the heater assembly fastener, then partially withdraw the assembly with
the card.
Step 3. Pull the card out of the heater, inspect the rollers for laminate scraps and foreign
matter, then re-install the assembly. Do not use metal tools to clean the rollers.
Note • All rollers in the main drive train of the laminator (not the cassette out-feeds) are
connected by toothed belts. If any of them fails to rotate, suspect loose set screws on the
toothed pulleys.
If necessary, turn the transfer roller
toggle to separate the transfer rollers
and relieve pressure on the card.
Hot Surface • Even after allowing cooling time, the assembly will be HOT, so hold it
only by its outer cover.
