Failure to do so may result indefective patch or card jam.Cautions:Apply the above procedures if there is significantmisalignment in the patch position.Do not rotate the patch position adjustment mechanismover ±1 mm. Doing so may damage it.31

TroubleshootingCard WarpageDuring laminating, heating by the heating roller may cause warpage in cards with a low heat resistance, such as PVC ones. If card is significantly warped Lowering the temperature or increasing the speed helps to reduce the heat load on the card, thus causing less warpage. Alterthe temperature and speed gradually while making sure that the adhesiveness is not affected. Settings can be changed on the status monitor of the computer that is connected to the card printer.Laminating Condition SettingsCautions:If cards with low heat resistance are used, applying a large heat load at once causes the card to deform significantly, and thismay in turn cause card jam inside the laminator unit. Alter the temperature and speed gradually.Reimbursement will not be done for poor adhesion or card warpage. For more information about the card, please consult ourauthorized dealers and evaluate the settings.
