Care and cleaning
Always make sure that the unit is turned off before cleaning.
(However, cleaning of the discharge rollers and magnetic head should be carried out with the power turned on.)
To achieve the best performance from the printer, always check each part before use for dust and dirt and clean if necessary.
The following explains the main rollers that require cleaning. For details about other rollers, see p.40 (Internal roller layout).
Dust and dirt, particularly on the thermal head, rollers and cleaning rollers can cause print blurs and shifting of colors.
Cleaning the cleaning rollers
The cleaning rollers remove dust and dirt sticking to the
card. Cleaning the cleaning rollers after every use is
recommended if the unit is used almost everyday.
Depending on the cards, there may be much dust and
dirt. In such a case, perform cleaning every 100 to 200
cards. Do not do this, however, during printing
operations.
1.
Open the card tray.
2.
Remove the cleaning unit.
Pull out the cleaning unit toward you as shown in the
illustration below.
3.
Wash the rollers of the cleaning unit with
water.
Wash out dirt on the roller surface with your fingers.
Do not use alcohol or detergents. The cleaning unit
should be cleaned only with running water.
4.
Push the cleaning unit back into the printer.
Push the cleaning unit with the rollers facing upward
until it is securely back into the place.
5.
Close the card tray.
After washing the cleaning unit
with water, wait until it completely dries up and set it
in the printer.
CAUTION
Deteriorated cleaning rollers may
cause defects in the printed card. If the rollers begin
to deteriorate, replace the cleaning unit.
(We recommend replacement after a year)
