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 1 year. Please first
look at the latest date for use (expiry date/shelf life) before you put your car-
tridge 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 result 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 finger to
make sure the locking points are correctly positioned.
The locking points 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 easily without you applying any
force.
