Cleaning the Platen and Card Feed Rollers

Caution: Clean the black, rubber Platen Roller and all of the gray (or black),
rubber Card Feed Rollers within the Printer approximately every 2,000-3,000 prints,
depending on the cleanliness of the card stock or the environment in which the Printer is
located. Clean if the Rollers appear dirty to prevent card jams and maintain the best print
quality.
With the Printer power ON, use the following steps to clean the Rollers:
Step Procedure
1 Open the Printer's Top Cover and Print Station.
Caution: Do not remove blank cards, Print Ribbon or the Card
Cleaning Cartridge from the Printer for this procedure.
2 Get a Cleaning Card from the Printer Cleaning Kit and remove its adhesive
backing paper.
3 Make sure the Card Hopper Door is closed.
From the Control Panel, select Menu > Clean Printer > Clean.
Insert the Cleaning Card into the Exception Card Slot until the card is fed into
the Printer, as shown below. You can use the Printer Driver or the LCD to
begin this automated routine. See the next step.
