1.2. Use as intended/Notes on print quality
The following notes are intended to support you in achieving a sharp, professional print with your Frama Matrix F12
franking system, so as not to jeopardise the delivery of your franked mail. As the user, you are responsible for the
legibility of your franking.
Information
1.
Your franking machine must be properly registered with the Royal Mail before you use it for the
first time. Follow the instructions given by your local Frama Sales and Service organisation when
you do this.
2.
Each franking mark may be used only once. The Royal Mail (Specific Country Post) regards
repeated use as a punishable offence and a violation of the general terms and conditions of
business.
3.
Test franking marks or sample franking impressions are not regarded as valid by the Royal Mail
and items bearing them may not, therefore, be mailed.
4.
The use of fibrous and other unsuitable envelopes can result in the marks blurring or smearing
marks and thus to the franking marks being illegible. In view of this, you are urgently advised
not to use envelopes of this kind. Do not use very absorbent or fibrous envelopes for this rea-
son. This could invalidate your franking.
5.
The use of high gloss envelopes, which could offer insufficient contrast with the franking mark,
is not permitted.
6.
Do not frank mail items thicker than 10 mm. You risk allowing the printing head to touch the
surface of the mail item and thus smearing the franked mark. You should therefore always use
Frama Matrix F12 franking labels for thick letters and packets.
7.
Please make sure that no sharp objects, such as paper clips, are near the franking zone. Such
objects can damage the franking system.
8.
Ink jet cassettes must be checked regularly to ensure high-quality printing. After a certain time
the printing head is sealed to prevent the individual nozzles from drying. Do not, therefore,
switch the franking system off immediately, but wait until the print head is sealed, or use the
Log off button.
9.
Please run a print head test and clean the print head using the Nozzle Cleaning function (sec-
tion 5.6.2. Nozzle cleaning on page 33) should you have the impression that there are lines
missing from the franked mark.
1.3. Requirements for the network environment/information security
