4.5.1. Fitting/changing ink jet cassette
Your Frama Matrix F12 franking system uses a double ink jet cassette to frank your mail items. The ink jet
cassette also contains the printing head.
You must therefore handle the ink jet cassette very carefully.
Information
1.
Do not frank mail items thicker than 10 mm. You risk allowing the printing head to touch the
surface of the mail item and thus smearing the franked mark. You should therefore always use
Frama Matrix F12 franking labels for thick letters and packets.
2.
Make sure that no sharp objects, such as staples, etc., can damage the sensitive surface of the
printing head during franking.
3.
Do not use very absorbent or fibrous envelopes which could prevent a cleanly printed mark. This
could invalidate your franking.
4.
The use of coloured envelopes which offer insufficient contrast with the franking mark is not
permitted.
5.
After a certain time the printing head is sealed to prevent the individual nozzles from drying. Do
not, therefore, switch the franking system off immediately, but wait until the print head is
sealed, or use the Log off button.
6.
Please run a print head test and clean the print head using the Nozzle Cleaning function should
you have the impression that there are lines missing from the franked mark.
7.
Do not touch the gold contact surfaces in the ink jet cassette. Grease and perspiration on your
skin can leave a film which could results in “messy” print marks.
Please observe the latest installation date (see date printed on ink jet cassette) when you fit your cassette.
Call up the Change Ink Jet Cassette function:
1. Press ”i“ in one of the start menus.
2. Press the Printer Settings key
3. Press the Change Cassette key
Open the printer cover and remove the ink jet cassette (ex-
cept for first installation) by squeezing the grip surfaces to-
gether and pulling the cassette forwards out of the machine. Dispose of empty cassettes in accordance
with current regulations.
