•
Printhead cleaning swabs pre-moistened with 99.99% isopropyl alcohol for cleaning the printer's
printhead.
•
Cleaning cards with an adhesive backing for cleaning the printer's rollers.
•
Gauze pads pre-moistened with 99.99% isopropyl alcohol for cleaning the printer's interior and

rollers, card feed rollers.
NOTE: As with any electronic device, internal components of the printer, such as the printhead may
be damaged if exposed to static electrical discharges. To avoid potential damage, always wear an
appropriate personal grounding device, such as a wrist strap (with integral resistor) connected to an
ESD ground. At a minimum, make positive contact with the bare metal chassis of the printer with the
hand prior to touching any internal electrical components.
