Card Refused, Date and Time in Display

If a time card is inserted into the card throat, refused, and a beep

sounds, the time card is too short. The time card sensors compare the

top margin of the time card with the imprint position. If it can not reach

this imprint position, the unit will beep and refuse the card.

Imprint Problems

Overprint

The Column Position Block in the imprint is used by the CP-5000 to

prevent overprinting. If your CP-5000 is overprinting, any one of the

following may be the cause:

• The time card was pushed, pulled, or moved during the printing cycle

causing the time card sensors to misinterpret the Column Position

Block.

• The quality of the ribbon is poor. The system can not detect a weak

Column Position Block.

• A non-Amano ribbon was used. Always use Amano approved

ribbons: non-Amano ribbons bind in the printer carriage, produce

weak quality prints and ink residue on print head, rollers, and time

card.

• The background color of the time card is too dark.

• The surface of the time card is too rough or there is dirt, oil, dust, or

ink residue on the card.

Imprint Position Wrong

If your CP-5000 is functioning normally, but the position of the imprint is

incorrect, perform the following:

• Verify that the programmed date and time are correct.

• A non-Amano ribbon was used. Always use Amano approved

ribbons: non-Amano ribbons bind in the printer carriage, produce

weak quality prints and ink residue on print head, rollers, and time

card.

• The feed rollers may be damaged or require cleaning. Contact your

local Amano dealer.
