Cleaning the card feed rollers and heat roller
The heat roller provides the heat used during the retransfer process. The card
feed rollers move the card inside the printer. See
“Printer roller layout” on
page 51 to find the location of the rollers.
Begin with the printer (and optional laminator) powered off.

card jam during the cleaning process.

retransfer film cartridge.

the printer within 10 seconds. The card will be drawn into the printer by
the rollers and cleaning will begin.
12 Turn the card over when it is discharged and repeat Step 11 to
complete the cleaning process.
13 When the cleaning card is discharged, power off the printer, wait ten
seconds, reinstall the retransfer film cartridge, and power back on.
Tips – Cleaning card feed
and heat rollers
• The heat roller cannot be
cleaned while hot. Power
the printer off and allow it
to cool, or perform
cleaning before the heat
roller reaches operating
temperature.
• Clean the card feed
rollers and heat roller
every 1,000 printed
cards.
• Use the cleaning card
one time only. Using a
dirty cleaning card can
cause damage to the
rollers.
