4. Whilst changing the dye film, and with the dye film removed, gently wipe the tip of the
Thermal Printhead, using a gentle side-to-side action, with the Felt Tip Cleaning Pen
supplied.
5. Using a tissue, remove any deposits from the pen tip and replace the pen cap to avoid
solvent evaporation. Allow the solvent to evaporate fully from the printhead before
proceeding to fit the new roll of dye film.
Cleaning the Tacky Roller
NOTE - It is very important that these Cleaning Instructions are adhered to in order to
maintain the MagiCard print quality.
A Tacky Roller is located between the Cassette and the upper brushstrip. Its purpose is to
pick up loose debris, fibres and particles from the upper surface of each card which would
otherwise cause a blemish on the finished printed card. Depending on the type of cards used
it is recommended that the Tacky Roller is cleaned each time the Card Cassette is filled, to
recover its stickiness. Clean the Tacky Roller using a piece of Scotch adhesive tape. Refer
to Section E to see how to remove the Tacky Roller.
Cleaning the Rubber Rollers
It is recommended that the Rubber Rollers in the transport mechanism be cleaned after
every 1000 cards printed, using the recommended solvent-impregnated Cleaning Card as
follows:
CAUTION: Failure to clean the Rubber Rollers may result in mis-registration of images
and problems in feeding cards out of the Cassette.
WARNING The recommended cleaning materials are inflammable. Clean the Thermal
Printhead in a well-ventilated area and avoid naked flames. Extinguish any cigarettes.
