It is recommended to use a cleaning card to clean all the spindles in the machine and replace the cleaning rollers after each roll of ribbon is used. If the machine is in a relatively bad working environment, please shorten the interval between two cleanings and increase the number of cleanings.

1. First, remove the card hopper and open the printer to remove the dye film ribbon and the blue sticky roller underneath it. Remove the metal bar from this blue roller, and set it aside in a safe place.
2. Use the menu on the front of the printer and navigate to the cleaning rollers option. Use the keys to work through the guidance messages ensuring your printer is ready for cleaning.
3. Open the pouch containing the new cleaning card and remove the card. Select “yes” on the printer, and insert the cleaning card. While the card is in the printer, the parts left by the printing process are removed with the alcohol in the card.
4. Flipping the card and repeating this process at least two to four times in order to get everything really clean. The cleaning process takes only a few seconds, and when it’s done you can clearly see the result.

6. For the cleaning card in half, press it onto the main middle roller while holding down one of the move card buttons. Move the cleaning card back and forth for around 15 to 20 seconds. You can clearly see the dirt and debris removed by this process.
7. You may also wish to clean the Rio intake roller. Turn the printer around and pulled the upward move card button while pressing the cleaning card onto the Rio roller for 15 to 20 seconds. Again, this cleaning process leaves a clear result.
8. Finally, it is important to clean the printhead on the Rio pro. Gently move the pen across the printhead to remove any dust or residue.
9. After cleaning you’ll install a new sticky roller to the printer. Remove the roller from the dye film box, and insert the metal bar which you set aside earlier. Unwrap the roller and snap it into place directly above the orange roller towards the back of the unit. Removed the new roller dye film from the box and unwrap it. Place the dye film into the printer.

How often should you clean your printer?

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.
