Maintaining the printer
This chapter provides information to help you
maintain the Magna™ Class printer for optimal
performance. It describes:
• How to use the printer cleaning card
• How to use the duplex/overlay cleaning card
• How to use the magnetic stripe cleaning card
• How to clean the printhead
• How to clean the supply tracker and heated roller in the optional
overlay module
• How to replace the printhead cartridge
Using the printer cleaning card
The printer requires regular cleaning, and prompts you when it is time
to clean. By default, you are prompted to run the printer cleaning card
after every 40 cards. You can change the number of cards between
cleaning in the printer Properties or Default Document Properties
dialog box. You might want to clean more often if:
• The cards, especially magnetic stripe cards, might have particles
on them
• A monochrome ribbon is used
• The printer is operated in a relatively dirty environment
You can run a printer cleaning card at any time, whether or not you
have been prompted. See “Supplies and cards” on page B-1 for
information about ordering the printer cleaning card.
Run a printer cleaning card
1 Remove the card cartridge and set it aside.
If the print ribbon sticks to the printer cleaning card, remove
the print ribbon and repeat this procedure with a new printer
cleaning card.
