Maintenance
Your Nisca PR53xx series printer is built to require a minimum amount of maintenance.
Nevertheless, there are a few procedures you need to perform on a regular basis or as needed to
ensure maximum performance.
Caution
IMPORTANT!
As with any electronic device, internal components of the
printer, such as the print head, may be damaged if exposed to static electrical
discharges. Make positive contact with the bare metal chassis of the printer with
your hand prior to touching any internal electrical components.
Following is a minimum cleaning requirement schedule:

3.1 Basic Automated Cleaning
Basic automated cleaning is recommended after every ribbon change. For this maintenance
procedure, you will need a printer Cleaning Card available from your authorized reseller. The
Cleaning Card contains adhesive backing causing dust particles and debris on the rollers to adhere
to the card. It is recommended to only use genuine Nisca Cleaning Cards.
