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 Picture

1 a. Open the Printer’s Front Cover and

remove the Print Ribbon.

b. Remove all the cards from the

Printer’s Input Hopper.

2 Use the Cleaning Card from the

Printer’s and remove the adhesive

backing from both sides of the card.

If your Printer has a Magnetic Encoder

installed, be sure to leave the small

Liner Strip on top of the Cleaning Card

in place.

This small strip is needed to protect the

Magnetic Head from the adhesives on

the Cleaning Card.

3 Insert the Cleaning Card into the

Single Feed Card Slot until the card

stops.

If your Printer is equipped with a

Magnetic Encoder, you must insert the

Cleaning Card with the printed side up

and with the small Liner Strip towards

the front of the Printer.
