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.

Insert This End First

Sticky Side Up

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 printer’s Top Covers, 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 printer’s Drive Rollers and Cleaning Roller Assembly according to the steps in the next procedures.

I. CLEANING THE DRIVE ROLLERS

The printer’s Drive Rollers 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 Covers of the printer.

2.Remove the ribbon rolls and overlaminate rolls.

3.Locate the Drive Rollers.

4.Use a Cleaning Pad from the Printer Cleaning Kit or a soft, lint-free cloth slightly moistened with isopropyl alcohol to wipe the rollers clean. Press the On/Cancel and Pause/Resume buttons to move the rollers back and forth while cleaning.

5.Replace the print supplies and close the printer’s covers.
