The heat roller provides the heat used during the retransfer process. The card 
feed rollers move the card inside the printer. See 

 to find the location of the rollers.

Begin with the printer (and optional laminator) powered off.

Move the RL90 laminator (if installed) away from the printer to avoid a 
card jam during the cleaning process.

Slide the door latch to the right and open the printer door.

Press the retransfer film cartridge eject button and remove the 
retransfer film cartridge.

Close the printer door.

Power on the printer. See 

The "No Cassette" message is displayed on the LCD display.

Insert the cleaning card into the card slot located on the right side of 
the printer within 10 seconds. The card will be drawn into the printer by 
the rollers and cleaning will begin.

Turn the card over when it is discharged and repeat Step 11 to 
complete the cleaning process.

When the cleaning card is discharged, power off the printer, wait ten 
seconds, reinstall the retransfer film cartridge, and power back on.

The heat roller cannot be 
cleaned while hot. Power 
the printer off and allow it 
to cool, or perform 
cleaning before the heat 
roller reaches operating 
temperature.

Clean the card feed 
rollers and heat roller 
every 1,000 printed 
cards.

Use the cleaning card 
one time only. Using a 
dirty cleaning card can 
cause damage to the 
rollers.
