What is error 14 on FARGO DTC1500?

The Error 14 on a FARGO DTC1500 printer signifies that the device is unable to retrieve a card from the input hopper. This is a frequently encountered error that is often seen alongside error #81, which indicates that the printer’s rollers are unable to grasp or move the card into the printing mechanism. Common Causes and Solutions:

• Empty Input Hopper: Ensure that there are indeed cards present in the input hopper.
• Cards Stuck Together: PVC cards may occasionally experience static or become “edge welded” together. To resolve this issue, remove the cards, fan them out to separate them, and then reload.
• Incorrect Card Thickness Settings: Verify that the adjustment of the card thickness on the input hopper corresponds with the cards you are utilizing.
• Dirty Cleaning Roller: A dirty adhesive cleaning roller can cause feeding issues. Clean or replace the adhesive cleaning roller, which is attached to the ribbon cartridge.
• Obstruction: Check the card path for any debris or physical obstructions.
