Credit card reader cleaning cards
The cleaning card is essential to the consistent credit card and debit card reads on your POS Terminal. A credit card has oils and dirt on its surface. With every swipe into your credit card reader these contaminates are transferred into the card reader and onto the magnetic heads. This accumulation of dirt and oils is 80% of the reason why these readers fail. Every time a credit card transaction is manually entered the fees for that transaction are increased by as much as 2%. The increase in fees and the time it takes for an employee to enter the number manually are essentially eliminated for a fraction of the cost with regular preventive maintenance. The use of cleaning cards will prolong the life of the reader.
Receipt Printer cleaning cards
This cleaning card removes burnt on paper particles that build up on a receipt printer’s thermal print head. This print head minimum temperature is 158 degrees Fahrenheit which will burn foreign material to the print head causing streaks and fading of the printed receipt. It is recommended by thermal printer manufacturers to clean the print head with every change of paper receipt stock. If you are using a Bixolon SRP or SLP Thermal Receipt Printer or Transact Ithaca 8000/8040 Printers be sure to use the products approved for their printers.
Screen Wipe for touch screen monitors, Plasma and LCD screens
The screen wipe contains a wet wipe to remove finger prints and static from the sensitive surfaces of today’s monitors. The dry wipes removes the excess moisture for a clean streak free surface. This product is best used when the monitor or screen is cool. The wipes may also be used on other surfaces such as the plastic casing around the monitors.
Keyboard cleaning swabs
The key swabs is designed to get in between keys on computer keyboards (or keyboards of similar design), calculator keys or to clean around small raised surface keys. This will remove particles that may cause keys to stick when used.
Motorized ATM credit card reader cleaning cards
The cleaning card is essential to the consistent credit card and debit card reads in your ATM’s that take the credit card into the equipment. A credit card has oils and dirt on its surface. With every transaction these contaminates are transferred into the card reader and onto the magnetic heads. This accumulation of dirt and oils is 80% of the reason why these readers fail. This specialized card is designed to open the sentry gates of the reader so that the card is taken in as if it was a credit card. By doing so it passes over the read heads and effectively cleans them. The use of cleaning cards will prolong the life of the reader.
Bill Acceptors cleaning cards
This cleaning card removes dirt and oils from the recessed lenses, transport rollers and belts of bill acceptor devices found in vending machines and change machines. The recessed lenses are the most critical component of the bill acceptor as they tell the unit what the denomination of the bank note is. These areas can become like a trash can and accumulate any dust or debris that comes off essentially dirty money. It is imperative to keep these lenses clean for proper operation. Transport belts and rollers are designed to grip the currency and pull it into the equipment. When dirty they will slip causing one side of the currency to travel faster, therefore jamming the bill in the acceptors pathway. Regular preventive maintenance will keep the bill acceptor functioning as designed.
Alcohol Cleaning Wipes
These Presaturated Cleaning Wipes were designed for cleaning any hard surface. Saturated
with 99.7% Isopropyl Alcohol, these wipes remove dirt and debris as well as being useful in
killing germs on surfaces such as doorknobs, office equipment and grocery cart handles.
