Best Care Practices for the Entrust Artista CR805
Clean the printer with an isopropanol cleaning card every time you change the ink ribbon, or more often if needed, to help maintain print quality and reliable card transport.
When running a cleaning cycle, remove the ink ribbon and retransfer film cartridges, remove the cleaning sleeve, and take all blank cards out of the hopper first. Handle cards by the edges or wear card inspection gloves to avoid contamination.
Use the cleaning card immediately after opening the package, as the isopropanol cleaning card can dry out if it is left out for more than a few minutes.
After the cleaning cycle is complete, discard the used cleaning card and install a new cleaning sleeve before reloading ribbon, film, and cards. Entrust also recommends a cleaning cycle cadence at each ribbon swap to help ensure consistent operation.
Use the included printhead cleaning tool and follow the printer’s printhead cleaning procedure whenever required, especially if you notice print quality issues. Entrust also provides operator procedures for cleaning the printhead and printhead cam rollers as part of routine maintenance.
Keep the printer on a stable surface, connect it to a grounded power source, and maintain the recommended operating temperature and humidity conditions in the printer area. A clean, dry workspace with adequate lighting is also recommended for safe operation and maintenance.
Do not attempt to operate or repair the printer without adequate training, and always unplug the system before servicing.
