The cleaning pen supplied with the cleaning kit (E9100) is used to clean the face of the print head. The pen 

contains Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) and is very effective at removing light contamination (such as finger grease etc.) 

which would otherwise spoil a printed card. 

To use, simply run the tip of the pen across the print face several times as shown in the diagram below 

(

)

Once clean, do not touch the print face! 

 

The tip of the cleaning pen can itself be cleaned using an old (expired) cleaning card. Gently rub the tip of the 

pen against the (now dry) surface of the card to remove any contamination.

Cleaning your Printer (video) 

 

In addition to the above, a video on cleaning your printer is also available to watch on the Magicard website 

using the link:  

https://support.magicard.com/solution/cleaning-the-pronto100/ 

 

The printer shown in the video is the 360 model but the process is identical to all 360 family printers.
