How to open FARGO DTC1250e?

To  open a FARGO DTC1250e printer, its important to differentiate between routine access for maintenance (like ribbon changes or cleaning) and a full disassembly. Most users will only need to perform the former. Here is a breakdown:

Routine Access (Maintenance):

1. Ribbon and Card Access:
   • The FARGO DTC1250e is designed for relatively easy access to the ribbon cartridge and card input hopper.
   • Typically, there are access panels or doors that can be opened to replace ribbons or load cards.
   • Refer to your printer’s user manual for the precise location and method of opening these access points.
2. Cleaning:
   • For cleaning the print head and rollers, the user manual will also provide instructions on how to access those areas.
   • Often, this involves opening the ribbon access area.

Important Considerations:

• User Manual:
  • The FARGO DTC1250e user manual is the most reliable source for specific instructions.
• Safety:
  • Always power off and unplug the printer before performing any maintenance.
  • Be gentle when handling internal components to avoid damage.
• Technical Repairs:
  • Full disassembly of the printer is generally not recommended for users.
