Purging the Nozzles
If the Printhead sits inactive for a period of time, ink may dry in the nozzles. Printing may not remove these
“ink plugs” from the nozzles
. White streaks will then show up in the printed text or graphic. In order to
obtain better print quality, these ink plugs need to be forced out or purged. A Purge routine is built into the
Printer. It can be accessed from the LCD panel on the Printer using the MENU key. If this does not solve
the problem then proceed as follows:
1. Wipe Printhead with a wet cloth as described in
“ Cleaning the Printhead ”
above.
2. Perform Purge from the Printer by pressing MENU , then the
“
+
”
key. Load media and press ENTER
to purge. Repeat if necessary.
3. Wipe Printhead again with a moist cloth.
NOTE: For more information refer to Troubleshooting Printheads in Section 5
–
Troubleshooting Guide .
Jams in Printer
If a jam occurs, STOP the Printer . Up to 10 missed addresses can be recovered at the Printer Control
Panel. (
See Section 3 – Operating the Printer, “Print Recovery After Jam”
.)
Some possible reasons for jamming are:
1. Feeding more than one piece of media.
2. Damaged media, such as dog-eared (
turned down corners
).
3. Media that is not stiff enough may not be usable. Media that meets Postal stiffness requirements for
automated feeding is acceptable in the Printer.
4. Envelopes caught under the flap of another envelope or stuck to one another may cause jamming.
Removing Jammed Media
1. It may be necessary to move one or more Printheads to gain access to the jammed media. Take care in
removing jammed media to prevent damage to the Printheads. All pieces of jammed media must be
removed from the feed path.
2. Follow instructions in
Section 3 – Operating the Printer, “Print Recovery After Jam”.
Replacing Sheet Separators
Sheet Separators insure separation of the pieces as they are being fed. They wear and must be replaced
periodically. If you experience double sheet feeding and cannot adjust the Separators to prevent it, they
should be replaced.
Replacing the Sheet Separators is not difficult:
1. Turn OFF and unplug Printer.
2. Release Separator Locking Lever and move Media Side
Guides to maximum open position.
3. Lower Separators so they touch the Feed Roller.
4. Remove screw [A] and Separator Support [B] . Then pry
Separator [C] out of Holder.
5. Install a new Separator and reinstall Separator Support
and screw.
