V. CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE PRINTER
As you use Quatro, dust and other foreign particles may
accumulate inside the printerÕs case. These particles are attracted
to the underside of the ribbon by static produced during
printing and can cause voids on the printed image. Periodically,
use the following procedure to remove dust and other foreign
particles:
1. Open the Top Cover of the printer by gently grasping the
front sides of the cover and lifting upward. The cover will
tilt open from front-to-back.
2. Open the Printhead Assembly by gently pulling up on the
assemblyÕs Release Tab and lifting upward. Allow the
assembly to swing completely open.
3. Remove the ribbon from the printer and set it on the ends of
its ribbon cores.
4. Use a Cleaning Pad from the Printer Cleaning Kit or a soft,
lint-free cloth slightly moistened with isopropyl alcohol to
wipe out all visible areas inside the printer. Remove any
debris that may be inside. Be extremely careful not to let
any alcohol drip inside the printerÕs case!
5. Once the cleaned areas are completely dry and free of
foreign debris, re-install the ribbon and close the Printhead
Assembly and Top Cover.
VI. CLEARING A CARD JAM
If a card becomes jammed inside Quatro, remove it through the
following steps:
1. Leave the power ON and open the printerÕs Top Cover by
gently grasping the front sides of the cover and lifting
upward. The cover will tilt open from front-to-back.
2. Open the Printhead Assembly by gently pulling up on the
assemblyÕs Release Tab and lifting upward. Allow the
assembly to swing completely open.
3. Remove the ribbon.
4. Press the on/cancel button to advance the card. Press the on-
line button to reverse the card.
