Setup
(continued)
Replacement of Card
Replacement of card can be performed when the
READY LED on the control panel, or when the CARD
LED is illuminated.
Replacement of card is also possible when the power
is off.
Replace card carefully to avoid interruptions during
printing and printing errors caused by vibrations while
opening and closing the card cassette.
Replacement of card can be performed during
printing, but we advise it to be done when printing is
not in progress as feeding without cover may result
in jammed cards.
2. Adjust the gate
Insert the tip of a ball pen into the hole on the card cassette
gate and turn the gate slowly to adjust to the thickness of
your card.
Adjusting Card Thickness
This printer can print cards with thickness between
0.25 mm to 1.00 mm. Default thickness is adjusted to
0.76mm.
1. Remove card cassette
Lock the card cassette cover by moving the slider on the
top of the card cassette to LOCK.
Lift the card cassette up by about 1cm and slide to the
right to remove the cassette.
16
During printing, when the card is not discharged from
the card cassette, adjust the gate adjustment position
clockwise, one scale at a time. If 2 cards are
discharged, adjust the gate adjustment position anticlockwise.
When cards of different thickness are used frequently,
it is recommended that you purchase an additional
card cassette based on the thickness of the card.
Refer to Optional Items (see p.35) regarding purchase
of card cassettes.

Maintenance
Ensure that maintenance is carried out when power switch of the printer is off.
(Clean the card transport roller and magnetic head when power is ON.)
To keep this unit in its best condition at all times, be sure to check each part before use and clean it
whenever there is any dirt or dust.
In particular, dirt and dust on the thermal head, roller parts and cleaning roller will result in uneven print
density or color shift.
Cleaning the Cleaning Roller
The cleaning roller is used to remove dust and dirt
adhered to the card. It is recommended that you clean it
after every use if you use it daily. In addition, it may be
difficult to clean in some cases due to the large amount
of dust and dirt depending on cards. In this case, clean
them after every 100 ~ 200 pieces.
Do not clean when printer is running.
1. Place your fingers on top of the printer and
4. Set the cleaning unit to the printer.
With the roller on the right side, push it all the way in.
5. Close the printer door.
open it towards you.
Open slowly while supporting with your hands
CAUTION
2. Remove the cleaning unit.
Pull it open as shown in picture below.
3.
Wash the roller of cleaning unit with water.
Remove dirt on the roller surface with your fingers while
pouring water on the roller. Allow it to dry naturally after
washing.
CAUTION
Moisture remaining in the gap
between rollers or behind a roller may result in printing
errors. Do not set up the cleaning unit after washing
until it is fully dry.
24
The decline in cleaning unit’s
removal capability may result in defects in the printed
card. In such a case, replace the cleaning unit with a
new one.
(Estimated interval for exchange is about 1 year)
(to the next page)
Cleaning the Thermal Head
Defects will occur such as lines appearing on the printed
card if the thermal head is dirty. We recommend cleaning
to be carried out after every 10,000 screen pages. The
thermal head is a consumable item and has a limited life
span.
Cleaning the Fan Filter
1.
Remove the filter cover
Hold the upper and lower ends of the filter cover and
pull one of these ends forward to remove the filter
cover.
1. Open printer door and remove the ink ribbon
cassette. Refer to page 12 of this manual.
2. Dip the cotton swab (sold separately) with
alcohol (sold separately) and wipe the thermal
head.
Wipe the part indicated as
carefully in a horizontal
direction.
2. Clean the filter
Remove dirt attached to the filter with a vacuum
cleaner. While cleaning, press down the filter to
prevent it from being sucked into the vacuum cleaner.
3. Insert ink ribbon cassette and close the printer
door. Refer to pages 13 to 14 of this manual.
WARNING
• The thermal head may be damaged upon contact with
human bodies that carry static electricity.
Be sure to touch the printer’s frame (metal portion)
before cleaning.
• Soak with absolute ethanol when cleaning. Be careful
not to damage the thermal head by knocking against
hard objects such as metal when cleaning.
