LC-305S Optical Reader . . .
Never re-use a card. You’ll just put
the dirt and debris back into your
reader. Also, be aware that the clean-
ing card is saturated with isopropyl al-
cohol and should not be used near an
open flame.
You won’t find this info in any TM,
so keep it handy.
If you need warranty or maintenance
info on your reader, call the Intermec
tech support hotline:

If, after several attempts, it still won’t
come out, wait 5 minutes or until the
alcohol evaporates. Once the alcohol
has completely evaporated, the card

press the eject button several more
times.
If the card remains stuck, turn the
reader in for service.
After the first cleaning card is
ejected, put in a new card. This time,
hold onto the card once you’ve inserted
it in the drive—don’t let go! This will
force the load rollers to work against
the cleaning card and will remove any
built up grease or oil. Remove the card
from the drive after 4–5 seconds.

put it in the drive bay. Do it quickly
before any of the isopropyl alcohol on
the card evaporates.
You should hear the drive rollers and
head working to read the card. While
they’re doing that, they’re being
cleaned.
After just a couple of seconds, the

be cleaned every couple of weeks.
Without cleaning, the dirt and dust that
accumulates in the reader scratches the
surface of the optical cards and causes
read and write errors.
Here’s how to regularly clean the
unit:
