If you are using color ribbons, it is the best time to perform a cleaning cycle when you change your ribbon. When you use monochrome ribbons, you can perform a cleaning cycle per week or per month depending on the usage frequency of printing. It is recommended to set the firmware prompt to approximately every 250 cards.

If there are unprinted lines on the card printed, you should clean the printhead. We supply thermal printer cleaning pens and cleaning swabs to effectively clean the contaminant build-up on the printhead. If unprinted lines still exist, they may have permanent damage to your printhead. You will have to replace it.

Clean your printer regularly to prevent jams or other minor issues by using the automatic cleaning feature that’s available on most printers. Manually clean the paper rollers with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
