Page 19: Servicing
Any failure to follow the servicing procedures described in this chapter will void the print head warranty. Evolis declines any liability where there has been a failure to carry out required maintenance on the printer. The print head is a wear part and an extremely sensitive component of the printer. Its useful life can be seriously curtailed by the presence of dust, liquids or solids in the printer's immediate environment, on the print head or on the cards. -
Page 20: Printer Cleaning
The print head warranty is directly linked to routine cleaning of your printer. If you do not carry out this cleaning at the required times, the print head warranty will cease to be valid. KC PRIME Recommended cleaning cycle: whenever the ribbon is changed. - Page 21 Evolis provides an Evolis High Trust maintenance kit consisting of 2 adhesive cards, 2 pre-soaked "T" shaped cards, a cleaning pen, and a box of ® wipes. The "T" shaped cleaning card is used to clean the transport rollers and the magnetic encoder head. Please go through the following steps to validate cleaning.
- Page 22 Remove the cards from the feeder Remove the 200-card feeder extension (if the printer is equipped with it). KC PRIME Double click the control button, then insert the "T" shaped card in the feeder as shown. Cleaning starts. Once cleaning is finished, remove the "T" shaped card.
- Page 23 If the terminal is in a dusty environment, we recommend that you place a protective cover on the printer to limit exposure to dust, whether the printer is in operational mode or not. For more thorough cleaning, you can also carry out manual cleaning. The cleaning frequencies recommended by Evolis may be increased depending on the environment in which the terminal is located.
