16 Printer Installation
Use the Front Panel
The front panel of the printer provides the controls you need to operate the system. Refer to the 
printer’s User’s Guide for complete information about using the front panel.
     
 Clean the Printer
The first time you set up the printer, use the double-sided, adhesive-coated (sticky) cleaning card 
to clean the newly installed printer. This helps to ensure that the printer is completely clean 
before you begin to print cards. 
Use the adhesive-coated cleaning card to do the following:
 Clean the Printhead Cam Rollers on page 17
 Clean the Inside of the Printer on page18
The printer ships with two types of cleaning cards:
 A 10-pack of double-sided, adhesive-coated cleaning cards. Use a sticky cleaning 
card to clean the printer at initial setup and whenever the print quality 
diminishes.
 An isopropanol-coated cleaning card, included in each ink ribbon package. 
Refer to the printer’s User’s Guide for more information about when to use each type 
of cleaning card.
