J. Maintaining
the Cleaning
Rollers
The Cleaning Rollers remove dust particles from
the top and bottom of 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 printheadÕs 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 these rollers:
1. Open the top-right cover of the printer by
pressing its Cover Release Button.
2. Remove the ribbon.
3. Locate the Cleaning Roller Assembly (the two
black rollers stacked beneath the Supply Ribbon
Drive Hubs on the printerÕs right-hand side).
4.
Reach down in between the empty Ribbon
Drive Hubs and lift the Cleaning Roller Assembly
straight up and out of the printer. (Hint: It may help
to push in the spring loaded Ribbon Drive Hub when
removing or inserting the Cleaning Roller Assembly.)
5.
Once the Cleaning Roller Assembly is removed,
clean the rollers using one of the adhesive-backed
Cleaning Cards from the Printer Cleaning Kit. With
the cardÕs adhesive backing paper removed, slide
the card in between the two rollers until all dust
particles are removed from both rollers. 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.
6. Once all dust is removed from the roller, place
the roller assembly back into the printer, replace the
ribbon, and close the printerÕs cover.
