Cleaning the card feed rollers and heat roller
Tips – Cleaning card feed and heat rollers
•The heat roller cannot be cleaned while hot. Power the printer off and allow it to cool, or perform cleaning before the heat roller reaches operating temperature.
•Clean the card feed rollers and heat roller every 1,000 printed cards.
•Use the cleaning card one time only. Using a dirty cleaning card can cause damage to the rollers.
The heat roller provides the heat used during the retransfer process. The card feed rollers move the card inside the printer. See “Printer roller layout” on page 51 to find the location of the rollers.
Begin with the printer (and optional laminator) powered off.
1Move the RL90 laminator (if installed) away from the printer to avoid a card jam during the cleaning process.
2Slide the door latch to the right and open the printer door.
3Press the retransfer film cartridge eject button and remove the retransfer film cartridge.
4Close the printer door.
5Power on the printer. See “Power on the printer” on page 15.
6The "No Cassette" message is displayed on the LCD display.
7Remove the protective paper from a cleaning card.
8Press the MENU key until "Cleaning" is displayed.
9Press the ENTER key.
10"Rollers OK?" is displayed. Press the ENTER key.
11Insert the cleaning card into the card slot located on the right side of the printer within 10 seconds. The card will be drawn into the printer by the rollers and cleaning will begin.
12Turn the card over when it is discharged and repeat Step 11 to complete the cleaning process.
13When the cleaning card is discharged, power off the printer, wait ten seconds, reinstall the retransfer film cartridge, and power back on.
