36 Using the Printer
Replace the Cleaning Sleeve
The cleaning sleeve helps maintain print quality by removing dust and other particles from cards
before they travel into the printer. Replace the cleaning sleeve each time you load a new ink
ribbon. You also should replace the cleaning sleeve if you notice debris on the printed cards or if
the cleaning sleeve is no longer sticky.
1. Remove the cleaning spindle from the printer.
a. Lift up the cleaning spindle handle (C3)
and pull it straight out from the printer.
b. Remove the used cleaning sleeve from
the cleaning spindle and discard it.
2. If you have not already done so, run a
cleaning card through the printer. Refer to
“Clean the Printer” on page 47 for complete
information about the cleaning process.
3. Load the new cleaning sleeve.
a. Slide the new cleaning sleeve onto the
cleaning spindle.
b. Remove the protective wrapper from the cleaning sleeve.
