Pronto100 | Cleaning Procedure

Fold up the top card tray.
Open the lid and remove the Dye Film.
Press power button twice in quick succession to begin a cleaning routine. (tap-tap / double-tap)
Insert the narrow end of the cleaning card through the slot when prompted:

Power light equal flash – 1 sec &
Cleaning light equal flash 3hz = Waiting for the cleaning card to be inserted.
Once the cycle is complete, we recommended repeating once more with the other (clean side) of the cleaning card to maximise cleaning effect.

Using the Cleaning Pen

Simply run the tip of the pen across the print face several times as shown in the diagram below.

Once clean, do not touch the printhead surface!

What customers say about our support...

The support team was very responsive and provided the information needed to address the issue.

Printer model: Rio Pro

Thank you so much! The ID printer is working great and we really appreciate the honesty of your technicians! We could have easily been billed for repairs that weren't done, as our printer is no longer under warranty, but you didn\'t charge us at all. The technician superstar told me that it was a simple loose wire, which he reattached, and they shipped it back at no charge. Thank you!

4 stars were given because the printer was literally bought a month and a half ago and instead of just swapping it out with a new one, we had to go through the manufacturers warranty process. I will say, from the time I shipped it out to the time I got it back was great. Hardly any time passed.
