SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Caution: Never do any of the following:
DO NOT use a ground adapter plug to connect equipment to a power socket-outlet that lacks a ground
connection terminal.
DO NOT attempt any maintenance function that is not specifically described in this manual or in
other ExpressCard 2000 instructional documents published by MagTek.
DO NOT override or “cheat” electrical or mechanical interlock devices.
DO NOT use EC2000 supplies or cleaning materials for other than their intended purposes.
DO NOT operate the equipment if you or anyone else have noticed unusual noises or odors.
Consider the following before operating the ExpressCard 2000:
Connect the EC2000 to a properly grounded AC power socket-outlet. If in doubt, have the socket-
outlet checked by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the device’s grounding conductor
creates a risk of electric shock.
Place the EC2000 on a solid surface that can safely support the device’s weight support the weight of
the EC2000 PLUS the weight of a person leaning against the device (such as a service technician).
Be careful when moving or relocating the device. Use proper lifting techniques.
Use materials and supplies specifically designed for MagTek devices. Using unsuitable materials
may result in poor performance, and in some cases may be hazardous.

3 Preventive Maintenance Procedure
3.1 Prepare the Device for Preventive Maintenance
Prepare the device for preventive maintenance by following these steps:
1) Offer the customer the opportunity to remove any proprietary or security-sensitive consumables from
the device, including card stock, image printer ribbons, indent cartridges, and tipper foils. Some
consumables contain negative imprints of cardholder data and must be handled securely.
2) Make sure the device is powered up and connected to the network.
3) Open the top access door.
4) Open the two side access doors.
5) Inspect the device for any items that do not belong inside the cover, and remove them (examples
include loose mechanical parts, cards, insect or animal leavings, or jewelry).
6) Inspect the mechanical parts inside the device and inside the image printer, paying special attention to
belts, cables, and plastic gears to see if there are signs of wear or damage.
3.2 Clean the Card Path
Clean the card path using a cleaning card by following these steps:
1) Obtain a cleaning card from the kit.
2) Remove the cleaning card from its package and let it dry for one minute.
3) Remove the image printer ribbon and set it aside in a secure location, or offer it to the customer for
temporary storage or secure disposal.
4) Using the touchscreen, navigate to Menu > Maintenance to open the Maintenance Menu page.
5) Press the Clean Printer… button to launch the Printer Utility page.
