CARING FOR YOUR PRINTER
CLEANING IS IMPORTANT !!!
Printer care is an important factor of your Printer’s operation and longevity.
Maintaining a regular cleaning routine will give you optimum print quality and prevent
“down” time.
Magicard recommend that you clean the Rollers and Print Head each time you fit a
new roll of Dye-Film, and replace the Cleaning Roller.
CLEANING IS EASY AND INEXPENSIVE
If you have not already done so,
order a Cleaning Kit -
see the ‘Cleaning Supplies’ box on the
next page.
A clean Printer produces better quality Cards, as dust and dirt are not present when the Card is
being printed.
A clean Printer is much less likely to require Factory maintenance, and the Print Head in your
Printer will last for many years of normal use. Remember, large particles of dirt can damage
the Print Head.
A clean Printer also produces better quality magnetic encoding.
THE MAGICARD CLEANING ‘SYSTEM’
There are three main parts to your Printer’s cleaning system :
1. Clean the rollers using the Cleaning Cards :
You use a Cleaning Card to remove dirt from the print path. This
should be used after every time you replace your Dye-Film (every
250 to 300 prints). If you print only a few Cards a day, we
recommend that you clean the Printer more often.
2. Clean your PVC Cards using the Cleaning Roller :
There is a disposable Cleaning Roller fitted inside the printer to remove dust &
debris from the surfaces of the PVC Cards.
This will prolong the life of the Print Head and will help maintain image quality.
It should be replaced every time you replace your Dye-Film.
A replacement
Cleaning Roller is supplied free with every new roll of Dye-Film.
3. Clean the Print Head using the Cleaning Pen :
There is also a Cleaning Pen, which is used to clean the Print Head. We recommend you use this
if any lines are seen on printed Cards.
