WARNING !
The print head is a fragile component of your printer. To avoid
damaging it, never put the print head in contact with pointed
and/or metal objects. Also avoid touching the print head surface
with the fingers. Changed print quality or even permanent de-
gradation of the print head could result.
IMPORTANT !
Before cleaning the print head, unplug the printer from the power
supply.
WARNING !
After a cleaning cycle, wait 2 minutes for the cleaning fluid to
evaporate completely before using the printer.
The print head is cleaned during the automatic cleaning of your printer (see previous section).
However, in order to preserve the original print quality and to reduce problems caused by an excess
of ink on the print head surface, it is recommended that you clean it regularly (about every 1000
cards) using the swab supplied with your printer.
To carry out print head maintenance :
1. Open the printer
cover and locate
the print head.
2. Take the swab
from the Cleaning
Case supplied with
your printer.
3. Gently rub the swab from left
to right on the print head for a
few seconds.
