Setting The Card Thickness Control - Javelin J330i User Manual

Setting the Card Thickness Control

The card thickness control is set by the user to adjust the gap as cards enter the printer, to
prevent double-feeds (which could cause a jam) or mis-feeds.
1 Open the card feeder cover.
The card thickness control lever is at
the front of the left-side opening of
the card feeder area
Note: Set the card thickness control before loading cards.
Note: To reduce contamination and ensure better print quality, minimise the time the card feeder
cover is open.
There are four positions to set card thickness control.
2 Slide the card thickness control to the position corresponding to the following:
Highest position:
2nd position:
3rd position:
Lowest position:
Note: The overlap in settings above accommodates variations in environmental conditions
(especially humidity) and cards from different manufacturers. In general, start at the lowest
position and move the lever up until cards feed reliably.
Note: "60 mil" ("1.524 mm") cards may have a significant variation (over 10%) in the
actual thickness of the cards; do not use these cards unless each card has been measured to
have a thickness less than 66 mil (1.676 mm).
50 mil (1.27 mm) to 60 mil (1.52 mm)
30 mil (0.76 mm) to 50 mil (1.27 mm) - Normal setting.
20 mil (0.51 mm) to 40 mil (1.02 mm)
10 mil (0.25 mm) to 20 mil (0.51 mm)
