4.Once the Cleaning Card is properly inserted into the Card Hopper, run a printer self test according to Section 6-B of this manual. As the self- test sequence begins, you may need to push the Cleaning Card into the printer to help it initially feed.

5.Allow the Cleaning Card to feed through the printer until the on-line LED flashes. At this point, open the printerÕs top covers and press the on/cancel button to feed the Cleaning Card out of the printer. Repeat this cleaning procedure if necessary. After the cleaning procedure is finished, close the printerÕs top covers and turn the printer power OFF and ON to reset the printer.

Once you have completed the above cleaning procedure, you should also clean the printer’s Drive Rollers and Cleaning Roller Assembly according to the steps in the following sections.

The printerÕs ribbon and lamination Drive Roller should be cleaned during every ribbon change or after every 250 prints. This helps to prevent jams and maintain uninterrupted service. Also perform this procedure if the roller is visibly dirty. Use the following steps to clean the roller:

1.Open the top covers of the printer.

2.Remove the ribbon and overlaminate rolls.

3.Locate the Drive Rollers.

4.Use a Cleaning Pad from the Printer Cleaning Kit or a soft, lint-free cloth slightly moistened with isopropyl alcohol to wipe the rollers clean. Press the on/cancel and on-line buttons to move the rollers back and forth while cleaning.

5.After the rollers are clean and completely dry, replace the ribbon and overlaminate rolls and close the printerÕs cover.
