Clear a Card Jam
A card jam occurs when the card does not reach the proper position for the next action, such as
printing or ejecting the card.
You usually can resolve the error by pressing and holding the U
SER button for 2 seconds to cancel
the print job so that the printer displays Ready. If the error persists, do the following to remove
the card from the printer.
1. Open the printer.
2. Remove the print ribbon cartridge or cassette.
3. Turn the manual advance knob to move the jammed card until it exits into the output hopper
of a single-hopper printer, or is accessible from the rollers in a single- or multi-hopper printer.
4. Remove the card.
5. Replace the ribbon cartridge and close the printer.
6. Press the U
SER button on the printer.
