Hand Feed Mode

Written By Alan Maxwell


By default your printer will auto-feed cards from the Rear Feed Hopper👉

You also have the ability to 

Enable Hand Feed Mode

👈 Your printer will now expect cards to be hand fed into the front feed slot

The rear feed is disabled when hand feed mode is enabled.
Hand feed mode: Off = rear auto-feed is again enabled. 




  1. On the Printer select Menu Button
  2. Press the down button to scroll to Hand feed
  3. Then press the right arrow button to select.
  4. From this screen you can either use the up or down arrow to make your change to ON or OFF
  5. Then select the right arrow to save your selection.

Your printer will now expect to receive the card by hand at the front slot, below the menu.

Not from the rear hopper feed.

The video below demonstrates this using a Magicard 600.
