Detailed solution for: Card jam in printer

Return to error solutions |
Written by Auto Mation,

The two most common causes for cards jamming in the printer are:

a. The thickness of the cards used.

It is recommended that only cards within the thickness range 0.50 - 1.27mm should be used in the printer. A card thickness greater than 1.27mm is likely to jam in the printer card guides or card flipper (in a double-sided printer).

b. The printer requires cleaning.

Open the printer lid, power off the printer and gently remove any jammed card by sliding the card along the guides.
