7. Cleaning your Printer

Cleaning is Important

The most important thing you can do to ensure card print quality and the ongoing reliable operation of your printer is to perform regular cleaning cycles to remove dust and debris from the print rollers.

Plastic cards attract dust. Dust then gets ‘printed’ into the card surface causing unsightly blemishes and possible damage to the printhead.

Your Magicard printer has built-in cleaning rollers to remove dust from the card stock. These rollers need to be cleaned periodically to remove the dust and debris accumulations.

Cleaning is Easy and Inexpensive

If you have not already done so, order a cleaning kit – see the ‘Cleaning Supplies’ box on the next page.

A clean printer produces better quality cards, as dust and dirt are not present when the card is being printed.

A clean printer is much less likely to require factory maintenance, and the print head in your printer will last for many years of normal use. Remember, large particles of dirt can damage the printhead.

Magnetic encoding suffers when rollers are not clean.

The Magicard Cleaning System

There are three main parts to your printer’s cleaning system - a Cleaning Card, a Cleaning Roller and a Cleaning Pen:

1.You use a Cleaning Card to remove dirt from the print path. This should be used after every 250 prints (every time you replace your ribbon). If you print only a few cards a day, we recommend that you clean the printer more often.

2.There is a disposable Cleaning Roller in the printer, which should be replaced after every 1000 prints (roughly after using 4 rolls of ribbon).

3.There is also a Cleaning Pen, which is used to clean the printhead. We recommend you use this if any lines are seen on printed cards.

To clean your printer, follow the three main steps below.
