3. Frama Matrix F4 / F6 printing system and inkjet cassette
Caution! Please first put the inkjet cassette in place before you press
“Yes” on the shown display.
Your Frama franking system uses a double inkjet cassette to frank
your mail items. The inkjet cassette also contains the printing head.
With this in mind, handle the inkjet cassette very carefully and make
sure that no pointed objects, such as paperclips, etc., can damage the
sensitive surface of the printing head. The shelf life of the cartridge
used is between 1 and 2 years. Please first look at the latest date for
use (expiry date/shelf life) before you put your cartridge in place.
3.1. Putting inkjet cassette in place
Unpack your inkjet cassette and remove the two protective strips
from the printing head.
Don’t touch the gold-coloured contact surfaces. Grease and
perspiration on your skin can leave a film which could results
in “messy” print marks.
On the top of the inkjet cassette you will find two grip surfaces. Press
them together between your thumb and forefinger.
Open the top cover flap. The printing carriage will already be in the
standby position, waiting for the inkjet cassette to be put in place.
Put in the inkjet cassette from above. When doing so, make your
movement trace the contour of the cover flap.
Push the new inkjet cassette fully into its guide.
Release the grip surfaces. Press back the inkjet cassette with one fin-
ger to make sure the locking nose is correctly positioned.
The locking nose must engage at the side.
Check that the inkjet cassette is properly seated before you
close the cover again (see photo). The cover must close easi-
ly without you applying any force.
