Maintaining the Cleaning Rollers
The Cleaning Rollers remove dust particles from 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 the Rollers:
Step Procedure
1 Open the Top Cover of the Printer by gently grasping the front sides of the Cover
and lifting upward. (Note: The Cover will tilt open from front-to-back.)
2 a. Open the Printhead Assembly by gently pulling up on the assembly’s
Release Tab and lifting upward.
b. Allow the assembly to swing completely open.
3 Remove the Ribbon.
4 Locate the assembly labeled Cleaning Roller.
5 a. Reach down and grasp the end of the Cleaning Roller Assembly which is
closest to the front of the Printer.
b. Lift this end first and gently maneuver the assembly out of the Printer.
6 a. Once the Cleaning Roller Assembly is removed, clean the Rollers using one
of the adhesive-backed Cleaning Cards from the Printer Cleaning Kit.
b. With the card’s adhesive backing paper removed, slide the card between the
Rollers until all dust particles are removed.
c. 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.
7 Once all debris is removed from the Rollers, place the Roller assembly back into
the Printer, replace the Ribbon and close the Printer’s Printhead Assembly and
Top Cover.
