7-2 Frequency of Use
1. Everyday, or once every 300 prints.
2. If errors occur repeatedly, or if there are printing problems, clean the reader/writer.
3. The cleaning LED will flash when there have been 300 printings. Clean the reader/
writer when this flashes.
7-3 How to Use
Use the following procedures to clean the reader/writer.
1. Press the cleaning switch.
2. Dampen the felt surfaces (both side) of a cleaning card with optional cleaning liquid.
3. Insert the cleaning card from the normal card insertion inlet.
4. Allow the reader/writer to sit for approximately one minute before using again, to al-
low it to dry.
Note: 1. Do not use bent cleaning cards. Using bent cards can cause them to be-
come jammed.
2. A cleaning fluid is not supplied with the unit. Therefore, an optional clean-
ing fluid or a commercially available ethanol (85% minimum purity) must be
obtained. To obtain the optional cleaning fluid, contact your sales agent.
3. The attached cleaning card attains its cleaning effectiveness by absorbing
a cleaning fluid before use. Make sure to allow it to absorb a cleaning fluid
before using it for cleaning.
4. Make sure to use ethanol with a minimum purity of 85%. If ethanol with a
lower purity is used, it will take the cleaning card a longer time to dry. If an
undried cleaning card is inserted into the slot, it could cause a malfunction,
such as card slippage.
5. Cleaning cards can be used approximately 30 times. Contact your sales
agent if they are damaged or excessively dirty.
