Why 10 cards is the normal clean frequency
If the cleaning system is activated every 10 cards, the cleaning cassette contains sufficient tape

cards, 3,000 color ribbon images).
Loading the color ribbon

Note • In dusty environments, clean the roller more frequently. The driver
allows you to select any frequency from 1 card to 20 cards.
Important • Opening of the main cover elevates the printhead
