Print Head
Cleaning
During printing, the ribbon(s) isolate the Print
Head(s) from the cards. Therefore, the ribbon
has the greatest influence on Print Head con-
tamination. An improperly installed ribbon,
with the dye and resin coatings facing the Print
Head can cause permanent damage. No
amount of cleaning can remove dye or resin
fused onto delicate Print Head elements.
Print Head
Cleaning
Step 1
Turn the printer power OFF. Open the cover,
raise the print head, and remove the ribbon
from both spindles. See Ribbon Loading, in
this Section.
The print head should only be cleaned with a
solution of 99% pure Isopropyl Alcohol and a
clean non-fibrous (foam) swab.
Avoid touching the Print Head elements. The
release of Static charges can damage the Print
Head elements and Internal circuits.
