Print Head Cleaning
6.2 Print Head Cleaning
The card cleaning system using the Cleaning Cassette will normally do an adequate job of
cleaning the cards. However, a separate Printhead cleaning, using swabs, can remove more
stubborn deposits when print anomalies persist.
Step 1. Place the printer power switch in the ON ( | ) position.
Step 2. Open the printer Main Cover. The Printhead will raise for easy access.
Step 3. Remove the Ribbon.
Step 4. Clean the Printhead by moving an alcohol-moistened swab tip side-to-side across the
Printhead elements. Only use moderate force.
Step 5. Allow two to three minutes for the Printhead to dry.
Step 6. Re-install the Ribbon.
Step 7. Close the printer Main Cover.
To reorder swabs, reference the Printer Media List.
Caution • Only use foam-tipped swabs. Never use a sharp object to scrape deposits
from the print head. Permanent damage to the print head will result.
