Cleaning the Platen and the Card Feed Rollers

Perform this procedure approximately every 1000 prints to maintain a consistent print quality. (Note:
The Card Feed Rollers move the card throughout the print process. Rollers should be kept clean to
prevent card jams and card contamination. This cleaning process will ultimately lead to better print
quality and extended Printhead life.)
Step Procedure
1 a. Open the Printer's Front Cover and
remove the Print Ribbon.
b. Remove all the cards from the
Printer's Input Hopper.
2 Use the Cleaning Card from the
Printer's and remove the adhesive
backing from both sides of the card.
If your Printer has a Magnetic Encoder
installed, be sure to leave the small
Liner Strip on top of the Cleaning Card
in place.
This small strip is needed to protect the
Magnetic Head from the adhesives on
the Cleaning Card.
3 Insert the Cleaning Card into the
Single Feed Card Slot until the card
stops.
If your Printer is equipped with a
Magnetic Encoder, you must insert the
Cleaning Card with the printed side up
and with the small Liner Strip towards
the front of the Printer.
