D. Cleaning the
Printer’s Case
Your Color ID Card Printer has a durable casing
that should retain its luster and appearance for
many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly
dampened with water or a mild soap. Do not use
excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
Never spray the cabinet with a cleaner. Rather,
spray the cloth first, then wipe down the printer.
E. Cleaning the
Inside of the
Printer
As you use your printer, dust and other foreign
particles may accumulate inside the printerÕs case.
These particles are attracted to the underside of the
ribbon by static produced during printing and can
cause voids on the printed image. Periodically, use
the following procedure to remove dust and other
foreign particles:
1.
Open both of the printerÕs top covers.
2.
Remove the ribbon from the printer and set it
on the ends of its ribbon cores.
3.
Remove any overlaminate which may be
installed in the printer.
4.
Use a Cleaning Pad from the Printer Cleaning
Kit or a soft, lint-free cloth
slightly
moistened with
isopropyl alcohol to wipe out all visible areas
inside the printer. Remove any debris that may be
inside.
Be extremely careful not to let any alcohol
drip inside the printer!
5.
Once the cleaned areas are completely dry and
free of foreign debris, re-install the ribbon and close
the cover.
F. Clearing a
Card Jam
If a card becomes jammed inside the printer for
some reason, remove it through the following
steps:
1.
Leave the power ON and open either or both of
the printerÕs top covers.
2.
Remove the ribbon and/or overlaminate if
needed.
3.
Press the on/cancel button to advance the card.
Press the on-line button to reverse the card.
4.
Close the cover. Press the on/cancel button to
clear its input buffer memory. Select the
Cancel
button (or equivalent) in your application program
and start the print over again.
