Detailed solution for: 02:05 Out of Cards

Return to error solutions | Card feed issue
Written by Auto Mation,

Error code 2:5 is raised when feeding a card from the rear hopper because it took too long to trigger the rear sensor. You may just be out of cards in the rear hopper. Note: Feeding from the rear hopper only, Not hand feeding from the front, Error 2:5 can only be raised with hand feed set to off. Most often a manual clean of the rear feed roller will rectify the issue.  Please see the cleaning videos below.Cleaning VideosIf your specific printer model is not shown below or for videos in other languages please see our YouTube Channel.See also: [embed]https://support-staging.magicard.com/solution/correct-cleaning-card-for-your-magicard-printer/[/embed]
