Cleaning the Platen and the Card Feed Rollers
Perform this procedure approximately every
1000 prints
to maintain a consistent print quality. (
Note:
The
Card Feed Rollers move the card throughout the print process. Rollers should be kept clean to prevent
card jams and card contamination. This cleaning process will ultimately lead to better print quality and
extended Printhead life.)
Step Procedure
1
a. Open the Printer’s Ribbon Drawer and remove the Print Ribbon.
b. Remove all the cards from the Printer’s Input Hopper.
2 Use
the
Cleaning Card
from the Printer’s Cleaning Kit and remove the
adhesive backing from both sides of the card.
If your Printer has a Magnetic Encoder installed, be sure to leave the small
Liner Strip on top of the
Cleaning Card
in place.
This small strip is needed to protect the Magnetic Head from the adhesives on
the
Cleaning Card
.
