Maintaining the Ink Cartridge
About the Ink Cartridge
The ink cartridge for printing is located in the mailing system and contains ink that has
been tested and approved by the postal service.
The ink cartridge uses ink jet technology. It requires the print head nozzles to be
cleaned regularly to provide a good printing quality. The system performs cleaning
automatically or on your request. You can also clean the head manually if the au-
tomatic cleaning is not sufficient.
The ink cartridge printing head has to be mechanically 'aligned'. An alignment
process is provided p.165 .
When there is no more ink indicated in the cartridge, you have to change the cartridge
as indicated p.168 .
Ink Cartridge Maintenance
This section explains how to:
•
Check the ink level in the cartridge to make sure you will not be short of ink.
•
Align the print heads.
•
Do an automatic cleaning of the print heads.
•
Clean the print heads manually.
•
Change the ink cartridge.
Note: the term 'Print Headset' is also used to refer to the ink cartridge.
