Tips – Cleaning card feed
and heat rollers
• The heat roller cannot be
cleaned while hot. Power
the printer off and allow it
to cool, or perform
cleaning before the heat
roller reaches operating
temperature.
•
Clean the card feed
rollers and heat roller
every 1,000 printed
cards.
•
Use the cleaning card
one time only. Using a
dirty cleaning card can
cause damage to the
rollers.
