Frama Matrix F10 / F12

5.5.7. Statistics report

The statistics report is used to print out the statistics for the current period. The data collected cor-

respond to the items you have mailed in the time between two connections with the FramaOnline2

data centre. The report extends over several pages (depending on the volume of statistics).

After connecting with the FramaOnline2 data centre, the statistics are automatically deleted and

then recompiled using your consumption data.

5.5.8. Specimen

Use this function to run a postage test print to allow you to assess the print quality, for instance. No

postage is used.

The postage test prints may not be used for franking mail items.

5.6. Printer Settings

Information

1. 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 al-

ways use Frama Matrix F10 / F12 franking labels for thick letters and packets.

2. Please make sure that no sharp objects, such as paper clips, are near the franking zone.

This can damage the print head.

3. Do not use very absorbent or fibrous envelopes which could prevent a cleanly printed

mark. This could invalidate your franking.

4. The use of coloured envelopes which offer insufficient contrast with the franking mark is

not permitted.

5. After a certain time the printing head is sealed to prevent the individual nozzles from dry-

ing. Do not, therefore, switch the franking system off immediately, but wait until the print

head is sealed, or use the Log off button.

6. Please run a print head test and clean the print head using the Nozzle Cleaning function

should you have the impression that there are lines missing from the franked mark.

7. Always use the functions from the Printer Settings menu. Replacing the print head without

adjusting the alignment and testing from the Printer Settings menu can lead to inade-

quate quality of the franking mark.

The Printer Settings menu gives you access to the options and functions required for perfect print-

ing. The functions in the Printer Settings menu are described in sequence below.

5.6.1. Nozzle test

A franking mark test is incorporated in your Frama Matrix

F10 / F12 franking system.

This test activates each individual nozzle in the printing

head. This enables you to easily locate defective nozzles,

and also to determine the scope of the cleaning pro-

gramme.
