all of the cards.
Step 5. Restore the card stack to its original squared-off condition.
Step 6. Place the cards in the Input Hopper in the correct orientation as shown. Ensure that
the cards are seated properly the hopper.
Step 7. Close the Input Hopper Door.
Note • Static charges and edge burrs from the card die-cutting process can render individual
cards stuck together with significant adhesion force. These cards must be physically
separated from each other before inserting into the feeder; if not separated, feeding or
