12.5.2 Cleaning ink cartridge by hand
Caution! Inexpert cleaning can damage the ink cartridge and render it use-
less. Heed the following hints to avoid damage to the print system:
• In case of print quality issues, always run the cleaning functions of the
franking machine accessible from the
M
ENU
first. Read chapter 12.5.1 on
page 73.
• You should manually clean the ink cartridge in exceptional cases only
when intensive cleaning fails to restore the normal print quality.
• For cleaning, make sure to use a soft, lint free cloth moistened with
demineralised water. Small fibres could clog the nozzles. Too hard or dry
cloths could scratch the nozzle plate. Such scratches make the ink
cartridge useless because they prevent the ink-jet from being correctly
positioned during printing.
• Never use any chemical cleansers either.
