ABSTRACT:
A card cleaner roller assembly for use in an identification card printer includes first and second cleaner pinch rollers, first and second tape rollers, first and second brackets, and a biasing mechanism. The first and second cleaner controllers are adapted to receive a transported card therebetween. The first and second tape rollers support a cleaning tape loop that is sandwiched between the second cleaner roller and the first tape roller. The cleaning tape loop includes a debris-collecting exterior surface that engages the second cleaner roller. The first bracket supports the first and second cleaner rollers and the first tape roller. The second bracket supports the second tape roller. The first and second brackets are assembled in sliding arrangement with each other and include a roller release position and an operating position. The biasing mechanism is configured to bias the first and second brackets in the operating position.
