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!

The Support techs at Magicard fixed the card printer and got it back to us promptly. It was packed very securely and we received it in just a couple weeks of sending it in.

The response was much faster this time and got it fixed within 1 1/2 weeks! They fixed the problem and answered the questions I had! Also, great that there was a warranty to help with the price!

I appreciate the service I received during this support ticket. I appreciate being able to correspond via email and I appreciate being able to make contact with you fairly easily. It is very difficult to be able to make contact with people at many companies, but it was very easy to get in touch with you. I appreciate your support and service and am happy to leave a 5 star rating!

The service was very good. Some confusion a long the way but that has been solved very quickly and professional.

Wasn\'t sure why the printer was throwing an error message. The Technicians were very helpful by pinning down the exact cause.
