Card Jam – Fargo DTC1000

Take the following steps if you are experiencing card jamming issues with your  Fargo DTC1000 :

  • Run a self test from the printer to eliminate your software, driver, or computer

  • Run a cleaning cycle

  • Make sure that your cards are within spec

  • Try different cards

  • Manually clean the rollers

  • Make sure that your card size is selected properly in the driver (CR-79 or CR80)

  • Update the printer driver and firmware to the latest on Fargo’s website

  • Plug the printer directly into a wall socket as in our experience surge protectors can cause different issues with badge printers.
