the job which originally jammed along with all subsequent jobs still being sent. Pressing the On/Cancel button will reboot the printer and cancel all jobs within the printerÕs memory. In this case, you must also cancel and resend the print job from your computer.

H. CLEANING THE CARD FEED ROLLERS

To assure consistent printer operation, all of the Card Feed Rollers within the printer should be cleaned during every ribbon change (every 250 prints) or if the rollers are noticeably dirty. To clean these rollers, use the special adhesive-backed Cleaning Cards from the Printer Cleaning Kit. Refer to the following steps to run a Cleaning Card through your printer:

Card Feed Rollers

1.Open the Top Cover and remove the ribbon and cards from the printer. Leave the printer power ON and the Top Cover open throughout this procedure. The Cleaning Roller can also remain within the printer during this cleaning process.

2.Remove the Cleaning CardÕs adhesive backing paper.

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.

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 printerÕs Top Cover, 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 printerÕs Drive Roller according to the steps in the next procedure.
