3 - Preventive Maintenance Procedure (EC2000)
3.11 Service the Image Printer Module
Follow these steps to service the image printer:
1) Identify the image printer you are servicing by looking at Figure 3-8 below. The image printer on the
left is referred to as ECP1 and the image printer on the right is referred to as ECP2. The steps to
service the image printer are slightly different for each.
Figure 3-8 - ExpressCard Image Printers - ECP1 (LEFT), ECP2 (RIGHT)
2) Make sure the interior of the ExpressCard is clean (see section 3.10 Clean Inside the Device).
Performing image printer maintenance with dirt or debris inside the cover may damage the printer.
3) Open the image printer and clean its interior if necessary. Dust and other particles are attracted to the
image printer ribbon or card stock by static produced during image printing, and can contaminate
image-printed cards, causing spots or speckles.
4) If the ExpressCard you are servicing has ECP1 installed, follow these steps:
a) Clean the card cleaning roller and replace it if necessary. See D99875600 ExpressCard 2000
Installation and Operation Manual for cleaning information, and section 5.11 How to
Remove / Re-install the Image Printer Card Cleaning Roller (EC2000 with ECP1) for
replacement steps.
b) Perform routine cleaning (see D99875600 ExpressCard 2000 Installation and Operation
Manual for details). Be sure to use the alcohol cleaning card included with the cleaning kit,
NOT the adhesive card, which is designed only for use in ECP2.
c) Clean the image print head with the head cleaning pen (see D99875600 ExpressCard 2000
Installation and Operation Manual for details).
5) If the ExpressCard you are servicing has ECP2 installed, follow these steps:
a) Deep clean the image printer per D998200281 ExpressCard 3000 Installation and Operation
Manual.
b) Clean the image printer dust filter per D998200281 ExpressCard 3000 Installation and
Operation Manual.
6) Check handoff from image printer to XY transport. Adjust if needed (see section 6.5.2 How to
Calibrate Printer to XY Transport Handoff).
