Thermal Printhead Cleaning
It is recommended that the Thermal Printhead be cleaned after every roll of dye film, i.e. after
every 250 cards printed.
CAUTION Failure to clean the Thermal Printhead after every roll of dye film can result
in the build up of residues which cause white lines and streaks in the printed image.
The Thermal Printhead is a fragile and expensive item. Care should be taken to avoid
damage to the printing surface at its lower edge. The surface of the Thermal Printhead
should not be touched with the fingers and under no circumstances should any hard,
sharp or abrasive materials be allowed to contact it.
WARNING The recommended cleaning materials are inflammable. Clean the Thermal
Printhead in a well-ventilated area and avoid naked flames. Extinguish any cigarettes.
Clean the Thermal Printhead as follows:
1. Switch the printer OFF and isolate from the mains power supply.
WARNING The MagiCard Printer contains potentially lethal voltages.
2. Hinge down the Pull-down Card Tray.
3. Hinge down the mechanism front cover and lift up the Top Cover to the vertical, as
illustrated.
