Section 7: Maintenance 55
Pro/Pro-L Card Printer UserÕs Manual
I. CLEANING THE DRIVE ROLLER
The printerÕs Drive Roller(s) should be cleaned during every ribbon change or after
every 250 prints. This helps to prevent jams and maintain uninterrupted service.
Also perform this procedure if the roller is visibly dirty. Use the following steps to
clean the roller:
1. Leave the printer power ON, and open the Top Cover(s) of the printer.
2. Remove the ribbon rolls and overlaminate rolls if using Pro-L.
3. Locate the Drive Roller(s).
4. Use a Cleaning Pad from the Printer Cleaning Kit or a soft, lint-free cloth
slightly moistened with isopropyl alcohol to wipe the roller(s) clean. Press the
On/Cancel and Pause/Resume buttons to move the roller(s) back and forth
while cleaning.
5. Replace the print supplies and close the printerÕs cover(s).
J. MAINTAINING THE CLEANING ROLLERS
The Cleaning Rollers remove dust particles from the top and bottom of a blank
card as it feeds into the printer. Cleaning these rollers will help prevent
contaminated cards from passing beneath the printhead, thus extending the
printheadÕs life and allowing for higher quality output. The Cleaning Rollers
should be cleaned during every ribbon change or after every 250 prints. Use the
following steps to clean these rollers:
1. Open the top-right cover of the printer by pressing its Cover Release Button.
2. Remove the ribbon.
3. Locate the Cleaning Roller Assembly (the two black rollers stacked beneath the
Supply Ribbon Drive Hubs on the printerÕs right-hand side).
4. Reach down in between the empty Ribbon Drive Hubs and lift the Cleaning
Roller Assembly straight up and out of the printer. (Hint: It may help to push in
the spring loaded Ribbon Drive Hub when removing or inserting the Cleaning Roller
Assembly.)
5. Once the Cleaning Roller Assembly is removed, clean the rollers using one of
the adhesive-backed Cleaning Cards from the Printer Cleaning Kit. With the
cardÕs adhesive backing paper removed, slide the card in between the two
rollers until all dust particles are removed from both rollers. If you do not have
a Cleaning Card, use a piece of standard clear adhesive tape. Use the sticky
side of the tape to lift dust from the rollers.
6. Once all dust is removed from the rollers, place the roller assembly back into
the printer, replace the ribbon, and close the printerÕs cover.
