It is strongly recommended to clean the printer every time the ribbon is replaced. In addition to using a cleaning card to clean the card channel, each cleaning also includes replacing the card cleaning wheel.
Use our Magicard-compatible cleaning cards to safely and effectively remove dust, debris and residue remaining on the rollers inside the printer. Regular cleaning helps improve the printing quality of the printer and the stability of automatic card feeding.
Here are the steps to clean a Magicard ID card printer:
- Preparation:
- It’s strongly recommended to clean the printer every time you change the ribbon.
- Use Magicard’s dedicated cleaning card, which effectively removes dust, debris, and residue from the printer’s internal rollers.
- Cleaning the Card Path and Transport Rollers:
- Press the “MENU” button, select “Clean Rollers” from the menu, and then press “OK” to proceed based on the printer’s prompts.
- Remove the card hopper from the back of the printer.
- Open the top cover of the printer and remove the ribbon. Ensure that the cover remains open.
- Using the Cleaning Card:
- Open the packaging of the cleaning card and take out the cleaning card.
- When the printer screen displays “Ready to Clean,” press the “Yes” button and insert the narrow end of the cleaning card into the horizontal slot at the front of the printer. The printer will automatically take the cleaning card into the internal mechanism for cleaning. Once cleaning is complete, the card will automatically eject.
- Optional Second Cleaning:
- If prompted by the printer screen for a second cleaning, you can remove the card, flip it over, and repeat the cleaning process.
These steps will help improve the print quality of the printer and ensure stable card feeding. Remember to perform this cleaning process regularly to maintain optimal printer performance.
