Cleaning the Optics
1. Using a small, soft lens brush, gently remove dust and debris from the visible mechanism
and the brushstrips. Ensure the two light emitting diodes (LED's) adjacent to the Thermal
Printhead, are clean and not obscured.
2. Check that the two apertures to the two optical sensors (one is 3mm diameter, the other is
a fine slit in a stainless steel strip) are not obscured by debris.
Cleaning the Magnetic Head (if fitted)
1. The Magnetic Head is located beneath the card, between the thermal printhead and the
front pinch rollers. To clean the Magnetic Head, manually insert the Cleaning Card into the
mechanism and withdraw several times until the head is clean.
CAUTION Take great care not to scratch the surface of the magnetic head with any
sharp or abrasive material.
