9.16 How to Remove Stuck Cards
In some instances, such as when cards are stuck together because of static electricity or because a stock
card is bent, the EC2000's image printer may fail to output a card properly. When this occurs, the
EC2000 will report "Error Ejecting Card" on the
card(s) manually. To remove a stuck card, follow these steps:
1) Open the top access door of the EC2000 (see section 6.5 Top Access Door Security).
2) If the card is not visible or is at the entrance to the image printer, direct the EC2000 to automatically
move the card to an accessible location:
a) Press the
Menu
b) Press the

c) Press the

can't reach (such as inside the image printer or hopper transport) to areas you can reach.
3) If the card is still not visible:
a) Open the image printer and remove the ribbon (see section 6.8 Image Printer).
b) If the card is stuck inside the image printer, slide it manually toward the image printer output. If
there is more than one card, guide them out one at a time, starting with the one on top.
c) Re-install the ribbon and close the image printer cover.
d) Check the exit ramp to see if the card is stuck beneath the tipper.
4) Close and secure the EC2000's top access door.
5) Create a sample card to make sure the EC2000 is now operating properly.
6) If this does not solve the problem or if you encounter problems performing these steps, contact
MagTek Support Services.
