Printhead cleaning swabs pre-moistened with 99.99% isopropyl alcohol for cleaning the printer's 

printhead.

Cleaning cards with an adhesive backing for cleaning the printer's rollers.

•

Gauze pads pre-moistened with 99.99% isopropyl alcohol for cleaning the printer's interior and 

exterior.

rollers, card feed rollers.

NOTE:  

As with any electronic device, internal components of the printer, such as the printhead may 

be damaged if exposed to static electrical discharges. To avoid potential damage, always wear an 

appropriate personal grounding device, such as a wrist strap (with integral resistor) connected to an 

ESD ground. At a minimum, make positive contact with the bare metal chassis of the printer with the 

hand prior to touching any internal electrical components.

WARNING:

Disconnect the printer's power cord whenever performing any type of 

maintenance procedure unless otherwise directed.

AVERTISSEMENT:

Débranchez le cordon d'alimentation de l'imprimante à chaque fois d'effectuer 

tout type de procédure de maintenance, sauf indication contraire.
