every 1,000 cards. If you are not using magnetic stripe cards, the magnetic
head does not require cleaning.

laminator) powered off.

installed) away from the printer
to avoid a card jam during the
cleaning process.

remove cards.

“Power on the printer” on
page 15
.
4 Press the MENU key until
"Cleaning" is displayed.

and down arrow keys to select
"MG Head."
6 Place three or four drops of
isopropanol on the stripe of the
magnetic head cleaning card.
7 Place the magnetic head
cleaning card in the card
hopper in the correct
orientation for the type of cards
used. See
“Load cards” on
page 8
for proper card
orientation.
8 Close the card hopper and
press the ENTER key on the
LCD panel.

discharged, power off the printer, wait ten seconds, and power back
on.
