Detailed solution for: Sensor failure

Return to error solutions |
Written by Auto Mation,

This error indicates one of the printer card sensors may not be behaving the way it should. This however, may not necessarily be a sensor fault but could be due to attempting to hand feed a card into the front of the printer with the printer's "hand feed" mode not selected.

The "hand feed" setting can be checked from the printer front panel menu by selecting Menu > Hand Feed > Change 

With hand feed mode set to 'ON' the printer will only accept cards hand fed into the front slot (under the printer's display. (Conversely, with hand feed set to 'OFF', the printer reverts to auto feeding cards from the rear card hopper).

If the error persists, irrespective of the printer hand feed setting, the best option would be to contact Magicard Technical Support for further assistance. Sign in or create an account to create a support case.
