Once the Cleaning Card is properly inserted

into the Card Hopper, run a printer self test
according to Section 6-B of this manual. As the self-
test sequence begins, you may need to push the
Cleaning Card into the printer to help it initially
feed.

Allow the Cleaning Card to feed through the

printer until the on-line LED flashes. At this point,
open the printerÕs top covers and press the
on/cancel button to feed the Cleaning Card out of
the printer. Repeat this cleaning procedure if
necessary. After the cleaning procedure is finished,
close the printerÕs top covers and turn the printer
power OFF and ON to reset the printer.

NOTE

Once you have completed the above cleaning procedure,
you should also clean the printer’s Drive Rollers and
Cleaning Roller Assembly according to the steps in the
following sections.

I. Cleaning the
Drive Roller

The printerÕs ribbon and lamination Drive Roller
should be cleaned during every ribbon change or
after every 250 prints. This helps to prevent jams
and maintain uninterrupted service. Also perform
this procedure if the roller is visibly dirty. Use the
following steps to clean the roller:

1.

Open the top covers of the printer.

2.

Remove the ribbon and overlaminate rolls.

3.

Locate the Drive Rollers.

4.

Use a Cleaning Pad from the Printer Cleaning

Kit or a soft, lint-free cloth slightly moistened with
isopropyl alcohol to wipe the rollers clean. Press
the on/cancel and on-line buttons to move the
rollers back and forth while cleaning.

5.

After the rollers are clean and completely dry,

replace the ribbon and overlaminate rolls and close
the printerÕs cover.
