Frama Matrix F2

3.2. Setting franking mark

If you have put the new cartridge properly into place, you can

now press “Yes” on the display.

The inkjet cassette will now be tested and calibrated. This

process might take a few seconds. During calibration, the

following will appear in the display “Please wait, calibrating

…“.

If the inkjet cassette being used was already in place in your

Matrix F2, you can choose between recalibration and taking

over the existing calibration data. “Confirm calibration?“

Recalibration can be necessary if the initial calibration did not

result in a satisfactory franking mark, e.g. the printing head

was too cold, etc.

After calibration, your Matrix F2

will ask you to make a test

franking mark. Use an empty

envelope, a folded A4 sheet of

paper or a franking label for this purpose.

Lay the envelope, paper, etc. to be franked, right aligned, in

the Matrix F2.

The envelope / paper, etc. will be franked with a test mark

and ejected to the left.

This is how the test mark looks: On the left-hand side, you can see setting X and on the right-hand

side setting Y. An arrow indicates the setting valid at the time.

The arrows should point where the lines appear to be

“straightest”.

If this is already the case, you only need to confirm the

following displays X and Y by pressing the ENTER key.

Sometimes however, it is necessary for you to change the

setting to optimize the results.

This is how you should proceed: On the left-hand side of the

test mark, X, look for the line which seems to be

“straightest. Note the number beneath it, e.g. “-1“.

Use the + and – keys to select the right number in the display

and then press ENTER to go to the Y setting and then

proceed in the same way.
