Section 8: Cleaning
Important: The procedures in this section apply for the HDP600/HDP600-LC and
HDP600 CR100/HDP600-LC CR100 Card Printers.
This Section deals with the Printer’s internal and external maintenance in regards to the
unit's cleaning and general upkeep. (Note: The Printer should be cleaned on a regular basis
to insure that the Printer consistently produces high quality output.)
Danger: Be sure to disconnect the Printer's power cord whenever performing any
type of maintenance procedure unless otherwise directed.
Important: Fargo Card Printers require highly specialized Print Ribbons to function properly.
To maximize Printer life, reliability, printed card quality and durability, you must use only
Fargo Certified Supplies. For this reason, your Fargo warranty is void, where not prohibited
by law, if you use non-Fargo Certified Supplies. To order additional materials, please contact
your authorized reseller.
Using the Required Supplies
For the maintenance procedures outlined for the Printer, you will need a Printer Cleaning Kit,
available from the reseller. This optional kit includes the following:
• Printhead Cleaning Pens pre-moistened with 99.99% isopropyl alcohol for cleaning the
Printer's Printhead.
• Cleaning Cards with an adhesive backing for cleaning the Printer's Cleaning Rollers.
• Cleaning Pads pre-moistened with 99.99% isopropyl alcohol for cleaning the Printer's
Platen Rollers, Card Feed Rollers and general inside and outside area.
Caution: As with any electronic device, internal components of the Printer, such
as the Printhead, may be damaged if exposed to static electrical discharges. To avoid
potential damage, always wear an appropriate personal grounding device, such as a wrist
strap (with integral resistor) connected to an ESD ground. At a minimum, make positive
contact with the bare metal chassis of the Printer with the hand prior to touching any internal
electrical components.
