J. MAINTAINING THE CLEANING ROLLERS
The Cleaning Rollers remove dust particles from the top and bottom of a blank
card as it feeds into the printer. Cleaning these rollers will help prevent
contaminated cards from passing beneath the printhead, thus extending the
printheads life and allowing for higher quality output. The Cleaning Rollers
should be cleaned during every ribbon change or after every 250 prints. Use the
following steps to clean these rollers:
1. Open the top-right cover of the printer by pressing its Cover Release Button.
2. Remove the ribbon.
3. Locate the Cleaning Roller Assembly (the two black rollers stacked beneath the
Supply Ribbon Drive Hubs on the printers right-hand side).
4. Reach down in between the empty Ribbon Drive Hubs and lift the Cleaning
Roller Assembly straight up and out of the printer. (Hint: It may help to push in
the spring loaded Ribbon Drive Hub when removing or inserting the Cleaning Roller
Assembly.)
5. Once the Cleaning Roller Assembly is removed, clean the rollers using one of
the adhesive-backed Cleaning Cards from the Printer Cleaning Kit. With the
cards adhesive backing paper removed, slide the card in between the two
rollers until all dust particles are removed from both rollers. If you do not have
a Cleaning Card, use a piece of standard clear adhesive tape. Use the sticky
side of the tape to lift dust from the rollers.
6. Once all dust is removed from the rollers, place the roller assembly back into
the printer, replace the ribbon, and close the printers cover.
