Clean the Printer
The printer performs best when it is cleaned on a regular basis. The printer
should be cleaned when:
• The number of cards printed since last cleaning reaches the number for your
site
• The printer displays a message for which cleaning is a solution
• You notice debris, such as lint, on completed cards
• You install a new roll of print ribbon
• Follow the cleaning guidelines for your site to keep the printer in good
working condition.
You can perform the following cleaning tasks:
• “Run a cleaning card”
• “Clean the printhead”
