Cleaning printer fan filters
The printer has four fan filters to prevent airborne particles from entering the print area. Clean the filters regularly. Replace them when the foam begins to deteriorate.
1 Remove the external fan filters; remove two filters from the left side of the printer and one from the right side.
2Remove the card hopper.
3 Remove the fan filter located on the upper surface of the card hopper housing by sliding the filter to the left and pulling down.
4 Clean the filters carefully using a vacuum cleaner. Hold the foam filter in place to prevent it from being pulled into the vacuum. Replace the foam filters into their frames if they have moved during cleaning.
5Reinstall the filters into the printer.
