Cleaning the magnetic head
When printing magnetic stripe cards, the magnetic head should be cleaned
every 1,000 cards. If you are not using magnetic stripe cards, the magnetic
head does not require cleaning.
Begin with the printer (and optional
laminator) powered off.
1 Move the RL90 laminator (if
installed) away from the printer
to avoid a card jam during the
cleaning process.

remove cards.

“Power on the printer” on
page 15
.
4 Press the MENU key until
"Cleaning" is displayed.
5 Press ENTER and use the up
and down arrow keys to select
"MG Head."
6 Place three or four drops of
isopropanol on the stripe of the
magnetic head cleaning card.
7 Place the magnetic head
cleaning card in the card
hopper in the correct
orientation for the type of cards
used. See
“Load cards” on
page 8 for proper card
orientation.
8 Close the card hopper and
press the ENTER key on the
LCD panel.
9 When the cleaning card is
discharged, power off the printer, wait ten seconds, and power back
on.
