Printer tips and maintenance
This chapter includes suggestions how high quality
and low consumption can be reached at the same
time. Moreover, special maintenance jobs for toner
cartridge and printer are described here.
5.1
Improvement of printing
In this chapter, the described settings concerning
the printing quality can be modified via the software
program of the Windows printer drivers.
The printing must always be done with the best qual-
ity and the highest resolution.
You can find more general information
concerning these settings and adjustments
on the help screens of the software.
5.2
Extend the lifespan of the
special-toner cartridge
If light areas appear on the printout, then toner is
missing. You can improve the printing quality tempo-
rarily by re-distributing the toner in the cartridge.
1 Finish the current print job before changing the
toner cartridge.
2 Open the cover of the SpeedMarking-Laser.
3 Take the toner cartridge out of the SpeedMark-
ing-Laser.
4 Sway (never shake) the toner cartridge back and
forth multiple times in order to distribute the toner
again. Do not position the toner cartridge upside
down.
5 Insert the toner cartridge again into the Speed-
Marking-Laser.
6 Close the cover.
If the printout remains pale, change the
toner cartridge.
If any toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off
by means of a dry cloth. Wash it subse-
quently with cold water.

Maintenance of special-
toner cartridge
5.3.1
Lifespan of special-toner car-
tridges
The lifespan of a special-toner cartridge depends on
the amount of toner being used for printing jobs. If
mainly text is printed, the special-toner cartridge
lasts for 1500 MultiCard strips with a coverage of
5%.
It is taken for granted that "Highest quality" and a
printing density of "3" (standard setting) is set.
5.3.2
Storage of special-toner car-
tridge
Take the special-toner cartridge out of the packaging
just before installation. The period of storage of an
unopened special-toner cartridge is approximately
2.5 years. In contrast, the period of storage of an
opened special-toner cartridge is 6 months.
CAUTION
To avoid any damages, the toner cartridge
should only be exposed to the sunlight for
a few minutes.
