How Often Should I Clean My Printer ?
Your printer should be cleaned every 1000 cards or at every ribbon change (whichever is
sooner) when printing onto normal cards. The printer will prompt you to do so at every 1000
cards by either a flashing LED. When printing onto self adhesive cards we would recommend
that you clean the printer twice as often.
The cleaning process should include the replacement of the self-adhesive cleaning roller
which is designed to keep the cards free from dirt and dust, cleaning of the printhead using
an cleaning swab and finally clean the card paths and rollers using at least one cleaning card.
Both the swabs and cleaning cards are pre-impregnated with cleaning fluid for ease of use.
