Clean The Printer - Entrust Datacard CR825 User Manual

Clean the Printer

The cleaning sleeve removes dust and particles from cards before they enter the printer.
However, you also need to clean the inside of the printer on a regular schedule to maintain print
quality. The cleaning cards remove debris from the inside of the printer and from the transport
rollers.
Two different cleaning cards are available to clean the printer:
A double-sided, adhesive-coated (sticky) cleaning card that removes particles that result from

the retransfer process. Use the card if you notice diminished print quality, such as a repeating
pattern of spots on the card.
A double-sided, isopropanol-coated cleaning card. An isopropanol-coated cleaning card is

included in each ink ribbon package.
Clean the printer:
Each time you install a new roll of ink ribbon. Refer to

OR
After every 500 cards processed.

OR
If you notice particles on completed cards, or if print quality diminishes.


cards.
