About the Ink Cartridge
The Ink Cartridge for printing is located underneath the Weighing System and contains
fluorescent red ink that has been tested and approved by the Canada Post.
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 automatic cleaning is not
sufficient.
Your Ink Cartridge also contains a Print Head that has to be aligned periodically to ensure
a high quality impression is printed.
If you observe poor print quality (streaking, too light, blurred, etc.),
see
Cleaning the Printing Head on page 162 .

• Check the ink level in your cartridge to make sure you will not run out of ink.
• Align the print heads.
• Complete an automatic cleaning of the Print Heads.
• Clean the Print Heads manually.

Note: the term 'Print Headset' is also used to refer to the Ink Cartridge.
