Installing Blank Cards into the Input Card Hopper

The FARGO DTC1000Me, DTC1250e, and DTC4250e Card Printers are 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).
Step Procedure
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 such 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.
Each 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.
To print using single feed, remove all cards from the input card hopper, leave its door
closed. Place a card in the single feed card slot (which can be used repeatedly).
2 Open the input card hopper door.
3 Press the card hopper load lever down until the card tray locks into place.
