Cleaning the printer rollers

The printer rollers move the card during printing operations. Clean the rollers, using the cleaning pen supplied with the printer, when problems occur such as:

Repeated card jams

Cards are not being picked, repeatedly

Colors are not aligned on the printed card

1Clean the pick roller:

a Open the input hopper and remove all cards from the input hopper.

b Remove the cap from the cleaning pen. Hold the end of the cleaning pen against the pick roller.

c Use the LCD panel to run a cleaning card. See “Cleaning the printer” on page 39. Do not insert a cleaning card! The printer moves rollers when it attempts to pick the card.

d Move the cleaning pen over the surface of the pick roller.

e Lightly wipe any dirt from the end of the cleaning pen onto a clean cloth or paper. Move the cleaning pen to another area of the roller.

f Repeat steps c through e until no more dirt appears on the pen.

2Clean the permanent cleaning rollers (at location 1) following the same procedure used for the pick rollers.
