4. Working with Frama Matrix F4 / F6
4.1. General notes
The following notes are intended to support you in achieving a sharp, professional mark with
your Frama franking system.
-
Don’t frank mail items that are thicker than 10 mm. If you do, you will run the risk of the
printing head touching the surface of the mail item and thus smearing the franked mark.
With this in mind, always use Frama Matrix franking labels for thick mail items.
-
Please make sure that no pointed objects, such as paper clips, are near the franking zone.
-
Keep your fingers and other parts of the body as well as loose clothes, ties, scarves,
bracelets and necklaces away from the feed inlets of the system. A risk of injury exists.
-
If you have the impression that lines are missing in the franked mark, please carry out a
printing head test.
-
Don’t use very absorbent or fibrous envelopes which could prevent a sharp mark from
being obtained. This could make your franking invalid.
-
A certain time after franking, the printing head is sealed to prevent the individual jets
from drying. During this time,
“Touch and go”
appears on the ComTouch. Touch the
ComTouch™ to continue.
Your franking system protects you from unintentionally franking with high postage
rates (see Section “Settings”. As a standard procedure, all mail items which are
franked in excess of 100.00 Rs must be released by touching the displayed postage
amount (it is first shown inverted).
