as unprinted lines on printed cards. Use a cleaning pen to remove the contamination
from the printhead and restore the quality of printed cards.

• The printhead has been accidentally touched, such as when changing supplies or
fixing a card jam
• Replacing the printhead
• You observe problems with card appearance, as instructed in “Troubleshooting”
on page 8-1.
