Wipe slowly across the long-axis with Printhead facing
down (
as shown ). Do not apply excessive force, as this
could scratch the nozzle area.
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 Printer Control Panel using the
MENU key. If this does not solve the problem, proceed as follows:
1. Wipe Printhead with a wet cloth as described in
“
Cleaning the Printhead
”
above.
2. Perform Purge routine from Printer by pressing MENU and 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.
(See Section 3 – Operating the Printer – “Print Recovery After a 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 together.
Removing Jammed Media
1. Release locking latches and swing Printer up and to the right. Remove jammed piece,
reposition Printer, and latch it in place.
2. Follow instructions in Section 3 – Operating the Printer – “Print Recovery after a Jam”.
