Cleaning the Platen and the Card Feed Rollers

Perform this procedure approximately every 1000 prints to maintain a consistent print quality.
Note: The card feed rollers move the card throughout the print process. Rollers should be kept
clean to prevent card jams and card contamination. This cleaning process will ultimately lead to
better print quality and extended printhead life.
Step Procedure
1 Open the printer's front cover, remove the print ribbon and close the front cover.
Remove all the cards from the printer's input card hopper.
