Cleaning cards for the magnetic stripe reader are available from Intermec. For information, contact your local Intermec distributor.
Maintaining the Printer
To clean the exterior of the printer, use a soft cloth and mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaner, chemicals, or scouring pads, as these will damage the finish.
