G. Clearing a
Ribbon Jam
If the ribbon or overlaminate becomes jammed in
the drive roller (visible when you open the printerÕs
top covers), use the following procedure to correct
the problem:
1.
Leave the power ON and open either or both of
the printerÕs top covers.
2. Remove the Take-Up core (the side with used
ribbon or overlaminate on it) from in between the
two black Drive Hubs.
3. Steadily pull the ribbon or overlaminate up and
out of the printer as you press and hold down the
printerÕs on-line button. This will rotate the drive
roller backwards and eject the ribbon or
overlaminate while you are pulling gently
upwards. Do not jerk the ribbon or overlaminate to
free it from the roller since this will increase the
chance of breaking it.
4. If the drive roller appears dirty after the jam is
cleared, clean it according to the steps in section I.
H. Cleaning the
Card Feed Rollers
To assure consistent printer operation, all of the
gray card feed rollers within the printer should be
cleaned during every ribbon change (every 250
prints) or if the rollers are noticeably dirty. To clean
these rollers, use the special adhesive-backed
Cleaning Cards from the Printer Cleaning Kit. Refer
to the following steps to run a Cleaning Card
through your printer:
1.
Remove the ribbon, overlaminate, and cards
from the printer. The Cleaning Roller Assembly can
remain within the printer during this cleaning
process.
2. Remove the Cleaning CardÕs adhesive backing
paper.
3.
With the top covers closed, insert the Cleaning
Card into the Card Hopper as you normally would
any other type of card. Be sure, however, that the
shortest non-adhesive end of the Cleaning Card
enters the printer first and that the side of the
cleaning card with the adhesive backing removed
(the sticky side) is facing upward. If the card is
inserted with the sticky side facing downward, it
will stick to the Card Input Tray and will not feed.
