Section 01
Introduction

1.1 Daily maintenance
Perform these steps daily:
lRemove and discard any rejected cards.
lClean the card transport path as needed. Once every 1,000 cards at a minimum depending on environment, card
quality, and usage rate as noted in Inspection and preventive maintenance.
Note: For maximum output in high throughput situations, daily card path cleaning is recommended.
lWipe exterior of printer with dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and debris from surfaces, including card input hopper
covers.
1.2 Inspection and preventive maintenance
It's recommended to perform inspection and preventative maintenance regularly depending on environment and usage.
The following tasks are for ideal conditions, with a clean and dry air office environment.
lEach print ribbon includes a new cleaning roller. When you replace the print ribbon, replace the supplied cleaning
roller.
lClean the printer after every 1,000 cards printed or one month, whichever comes first.
This involves cleaning parts, such as the card path, card path rollers and print head using the cleaning kits available
for sale. Please ensure to use both the adhesive card and IPA card when cleaning the card path and rollers.
lInspect and service the printer after every 20,000 cards or annually, whichever comes first.
This involves inspection and replacement of rollers, belts, drive gears, and contact station encoder gears, if used.
These items endure wear with normal usage and should be monitored to minimize downtime in high throughput
situations.
1.3 Spare parts
To help minimize down-time in high-volume printing environments, it is recommended to maintain one spare parts kit for
every 10 printers in use. Spare part kits are available for your HDP®6600 printer. Please contact your HID Global sales
representative for more details.
