Clean The System; Single Hopper System - DataCard CE870 User Manual

Clean the System

Run a cleaning card to clean debris from the inside of the system. The cleaning card can remove
most contaminants from the system. Run a cleaning card after every 500 cards processed by the
system, or more often depending on your environment or if card quality diminishes.
If the card light is blinking amber and there are cards in the input hopper, the system's
configured cleaning count has been reached and it is time to clean the system. The
number of cards between cleaning is set in the Printer Manager FrontPanel settings.
Refer to the "Printer Manager" section of the printer's Installation and Administrator's
