Installing Blank Cards Into The Input Card Hopper - HID FARGO DTC 1500 User Manual

2.4 Installing Blank Cards into the Input Card Hopper

The Fargo DTC1500 card printer is capable of printing single feed cards and multiple feed cards
(batch mode). To print a single feed card, remove all cards from the input card hopper, leave its door
closed and place a card in the single feed card slot (which can be used repeatedly).
1. Load the cards with the print side down and (if applicable) the magnetic strip up and towards
the front of the printer.
Information: Do not run the cards with a contaminated, dull or uneven surface through the
printer. Printing onto these cards may lead to poor print quality and can greatly reduce the life
of the printhead.
Card types include PVC or PVC finish.

Cards eject into the output hopper or reject hopper.

The input hopper holds 100 cards.

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.
2. Open the input card hopper door.
3. Press the card hopper load lever down until the card tray locks into place.
