How do I Clean a Paymaster X-550 Check Writer?

The Paymaster check writer X-550 is a vintage check writing machine manufactured by the Paymaster Company in the 1960s and 1970s. It imprints checks with ink instead of using a ribbon like a typewriter. Cleaning the check writer will keep the ink from smudging on the checks.

  • Lift open the back of the Paymaster check writer X-550. Push down on the lever in the back of the machine and lift the top open to reveal the typeface.

  • Dab the cloth with 1 teaspoonful of rubbing alcohol.

  • Wipe each typeface with the cloth to remove any excess ink. Move the typeface levers on the front of the machine to change which typeface gets cleaned.

  • Close the Paymaster check writer X-550 machine's lid when the cleaning is complete.
