3-2 Routine printer cleaning
The print head warranty is directly linked to routine cleaning of your printer.
If you do not carry out this cleaning at the required times, the print head warranty will cease to be valid.
Recommended cleaning cycle: whenever the ribbon* is changed
Mandatory cleaning cycle: when the cleaning warning is triggered
Servicing accessory: cleaning card
Your printer is fitted with a cleaning warning system which is triggered after a certain number of cards have
been inserted, depending on the model of printer that you have (see table below).
You should proceed with the routine cleaning of your printer as soon as the warning is triggered.
If you continue to run the printer despite the warning and if the warning light starts to flash, the print head warranty
will be automatically voided owing to a failure to comply with your contractual maintenance obligations.
So for example for a Tattoo2 printer, if you insert 50 cards after the cleaning warning is triggered, you have only 50 more cards before
cleaning the printer and keeping your warranty valid.
* for rewriteable printers, please refer to the table on page 17
