H. CLEANING THE CARD FEED ROLLERS
To assure consistent printer operation, all of the gray card feed rollers within the
printer should be cleaned during every ribbon change (every 250 prints) or if the
rollers are noticeably dirty. To clean these rollers, use the special adhesive-backed
Cleaning Cards from the Printer Cleaning Kit. Refer to the following steps to run a
Cleaning Card through your printer:
1. Open the Top Cover(s) and remove all print supplies from the printer. Leave
the printer power ON and the Top Cover(s) open throughout this procedure.
The Cleaning Roller Assembly can also remain within the printer during this
cleaning process.
2. Remove the Cleaning CardÕs adhesive backing paper.
3. Insert the Cleaning Card into the Card Hopper as you normally would any
other type of card. Be sure, however, that the shortest non-adhesive end of the
Cleaning Card enters the printer first and that the side of the cleaning card
with the adhesive backing removed (the sticky side) is facing upward. If the
card is inserted with the sticky side facing downward, it will stick to the Card
Input Tray and will not feed.
4. Once the Cleaning Card is properly inserted into the Card Hopper, hold down
the On/Cancel button and push the Cleaning Card into the printer until you
feel the second gray feed roller grab and begin feeding the card.
5. Continue to hold down the On/Cancel button until the Cleaning Card has fed
completely through the printer. Repeat this cleaning procedure if necessary.
After the cleaning procedure is finished, re-install media, close the printerÕs
Top Cover(s), and turn the printer power OFF and ON to reset the printer.
NOTE: Once you have completed the above cleaning procedure, you should also clean the printerÕs
Drive Roller(s) and Cleaning Roller Assembly according to the steps in the next procedures.
