6.2 CLEANING

This Section describes a manual cleaning of the Print Head and Card Transport Rollers. For Encoder-equipped models, Encoder Heads require a cleaning using the Cleaning Cards (see Cleaning Alert—Sections 2.2 and 2.7).

6.2.1 Card Transport, Platen, and Cleaning Rollers

Refer to Figure 6-2, and proceed as follows:

Step 1. Turn off power, open the Cover, raise the Print Head and remove the shroud covering the card path down stream from the Print Head. Also remove any Card and Ribbon media and the Cleaning Roller Cartridge.

Step 2. For recently operated systems, Print Head elements may remain hot. If so, allow about five minutes to pass before proceeding.
