Step Procedure
5 If the tape test indicates inadequate adhesion, increase the heat setting by 5 degrees, print another card
and try the tape test again.
• Once the temperature has been increased 4 times (20 degrees), reset temperature to default and
increase the Dwell Time by .5 second.
• Repeat this process until adequate adhesion is achieved.
• Ensure that the cards (in use) have a surface roughness (Ra) of 60 micro inches or less.
This information should be available from the card manufacturer.

7.1 Using the Required Supplies
For the maintenance procedures outlined for the Printer, you will need a Printer Cleaning Kit,
available from the reseller. This optional kit includes the following:
• Printhead Cleaning Swabs pre-moistened with 99.99% isopropyl alcohol for cleaning the
Printer's Printhead.
• Cleaning Cards with an adhesive backing for cleaning the Printer's Cleaning Rollers.
• Gauze Pads pre-moistened with 99.99% isopropyl alcohol for cleaning the Printer's interior
and exterior.
• Alcohol Cards pre-moistened with 99.99% isopropyl alcohol for cleaning the Printer's
Platen Rollers, Card Feed Rollers.
As with any electronic device, internal components of the Printer, such as
the Printhead may be damaged if exposed to static electrical discharges. To
avoid potential damage, always wear an appropriate personal grounding
device, such as a wrist strap (with integral resistor) connected to an ESD
ground. At a minimum, make positive contact with the bare metal chassis of
the Printer with the hand prior to touching any internal electrical
components.
