Maintaining the Ink Cartridge
About the Ink Cartridge
The ink cartridge for printing is located in the Mailing System and contains ink that
has been tested and approved by the postal service.
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 heads manually if the au-
tomatic cleaning is not sufficient.
The ink cartridge also contains two print heads that have to be aligned.
Ink Cartridge Maintenance
This section explains how to:
• Check the ink level in the cartridge to make sure you will not be run out of ink
• Align the print heads
• Do an automatic cleaning of the print heads
• Clean the print heads manually
• Change the ink cartridge
Note: the term 'Print Headset' is also used to refer to the Ink Cartridge.
