The print head is located behind a piece of plastic in the middle of the printer. Once the dust settles we will clean off the print head. You can use canned air or a low powered air compressor set at around 30 psi. If you have a way of blowing out the printer that is the recommended method. Make sure not to let any moisture drip down into the printer as it will damage it. To start cleaning lets wipe down the inside of the printer. With the cassettes out of the way we can now see much more of the printer. To remove them simply pinch the blue lever and pull towards you. If we remove the two cassettes the contain the ribbon and the re transfer film you will see much more of the printer so lets do that now. This will release the cover and expose the inside of the printer.Īt first glance it may not look like a lot, but that’s because Fargo did a great job at hiding everything. Now open the front cover of the printer by pressing in on the panel where the three raised lines are near the top.
You can now place the input hopper back if you please. The purpose of the rollers is to capture any dust that may be on the cards as they enter the printer. The cleaning rollers are three rollers touching each other. If you remove the input hopper you will see a few exposed rollers. This hopper holds the blank cards that you will use to print. Starting on the right of the printer you will see the input hopper. So below in this ‘How to’ we will be going step by step to clean your Fargo HDP5000 card printer. If any dust gets into your printer it could possibly start affecting the way your cards turn out.ĭust can get caught between the film and your card, then you have it sealed into the card forever! And we don’t want that now do we. However, it is very important that you keep your printer as clean as possible. With this technology you get superior printing quality with your images. Meaning the printer prints the image backwards to a clear film, then when the film is applied to the card it comes out with the correct orientation. It uses the reverse transfer method of printing.
