Cleaning the printer rollers
The rollers in the printer move the card into position to begin operations, such as
printing, and move the card during operations. Clean the rollers once a month or when
problems occur, such as repeated card jams. To clean rollers, use:
•
Lint-free cloth
•
T960 citrus solvent (part number TUL003-007) OR Isopropyl alcohol (ISA)
