J. MAINTAINING THE CLEANING ROLLERS

The Cleaning Rollers remove dust particles from the top and bottom of a blank card as it feeds into the printer. Cleaning these rollers will help prevent contaminated cards from passing beneath the printhead, thus extending the printhead’s life and allowing for higher quality output. The Cleaning Rollers should be cleaned during every ribbon change or after every 250 prints. Use the following steps to clean these rollers:

1.Open the top-right cover of the printer by pressing its Cover Release Button.

2.Remove the ribbon.

3.Locate the Cleaning Roller Assembly (the two black rollers stacked beneath the Supply Ribbon Drive Hubs on the printer’s right-hand side).

4.Reach down in between the empty Ribbon Drive Hubs and lift the Cleaning Roller Assembly straight up and out of the printer. (Hint: It may help to push in the spring loaded Ribbon Drive Hub when removing or inserting the Cleaning Roller Assembly.)

5.Once the Cleaning Roller Assembly is removed, clean the rollers using one of the adhesive-backed Cleaning Cards from the Printer Cleaning Kit. With the card’s adhesive backing paper removed, slide the card in between the two rollers until all dust particles are removed from both rollers. If you do not have a Cleaning Card, use a piece of standard clear adhesive tape. Use the sticky side of the tape to lift dust from the rollers.

6.Once all dust is removed from the rollers, place the roller assembly back into the printer, replace the ribbon, and close the printer’s cover.
