Cleaning tips
• Use the cleaning card as soon as you open the package. The 
cleaning solution on the card evaporates after a few minutes.
• Some card features, such as signature panels and magnetic 
stripes, can require more frequent cleaning of the printer.
• Printing with monochrome print ribbons requires more frequent 
cleaning.
• Clean printer rollers regularly, such as every time you change 
the ribbon. 
• If you use StickICards™, use a cleaning card after every 100 
cards. The printer might also need additional cleaning. 
• You can also use the LCD panel to run the cleaning card. See 
"Run a printer cleaning card" on page 45.
• See SP Series Info Central for more cleaning information.
