Magnetic Head
vIf the magnetic head is dirty, errors may occur during writing to or
reading of the magnetic stripe card.
vClean the magnetic head after approximately every 1,000 cards.
Cautions:
vIf the security lock is on, deactivate it. After work is complete,
activate the security lock again.
vBefore cleaning the magnetic head, make sure that you clean the
cleaning roller. Otherwise, dirt on the cleaning roller may be attached
to the cleaning card, causing its cleaning capability to deteriorate.
vAfter cleaning is complete, check to ensure that all dismantled parts
are restored to their original positions. Failure to restore the parts
may result in malfunction of the printer.
vDo not perform any work on the printer door. Do not place heavy
objects or apply load on the printer. Doing so may damage it.
vFor details on separately sold items, please consult our authorized
