Your Evolis printer has been designed to give you long service and needs only minimal regular maintenance. Please comply with the
instructions given below to ensure that it runs satisfactorily.
Keep your warranty cover!
and in particular the printer cleaning cycles.
Any failure to follow the maintenance and servicing procedures described in this section voids the print head warranty.
Evolis declines any liability where there has been a failure to carry out required maintenance on the printer.
The print head is a wearing part and an extremely sensitive printer component. Its useful life can be seriously curtailed by the presence of
dust, liquids or solids in the printer’s immediate environment, on the print head or on the cards. Users must take all necessary precautions
to insert only clean cards, free of dust deposits or foreign bodies, into the machine.
The frequency and quality of cleaning are decisive factors enabling users to extend the print head’s useful life and to ensure excellent
print quality. Particular care must therefore be taken with cleaning. Users must comply with the servicing and maintenance instructions
as fully described in this section.
In addition, the use of Evolis brand ribbons (Evolis Genuine Ribbons) also ensures that your equipment operates properly. Use of ribbons
not approved by Evolis may as a consequence affect the quality and reliability of print jobs, produce low quality printed output and
even affect the printer’s operation. The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover physical damage or quality problems caused by using
non-Evolis approved ribbons*.
Evolis provides replacement parts and consumables that you can refer to within this user guide or by visiting the website at
www.evolis.com.
