5.6.3. Cleaning printing system
From time to time, it might become necessary for the print-
ing head jets to be cleaned. Your Frama franking system
provides a cleaning cycle for this purpose.
Blocked jets are often the result of the mains electric supply being switched off before the
jets have been properly sealed. As a matter of principle, use the log-off function so that
your franking system switches off properly.
You should clean the system if white lines show in
the franking mark. For this job, two cleaning pro-
grams are available:.
Nozzle Cleaning: A normal printing head cleaning
operation is carried out. The printing head and the
jets are cleaned.
Nozzle Cleaning + : This operation uses a great
deal of ink because the jets are flushed and cleaned
thoroughly.
To fetch the required program, press the appropri-
ate key. The cleaning program starts automatically. It is advisable to run the function “Nozzle Test” after-
wards to check how satisfactory the cleaning operation was.
5.6.4. Nozzle Test
A nozzle test is
incorporated in your
Frama Matrix franking
system.
In this test, each individual nozzle in the printing head can be activated. This
enables you to easily localize defective or blocked nozzles, and also to deter-
mine the scope of the cleaning program
Press the key “Nozzle Test”.
Introduce an envelope or something similar into the system for franking. A test
franking mark is made.
Check whether all lines have been printed. If not, let the printing head be cleaned.
5.6.5. Franking mark resolution
By pressing the key “Print Res.”, you can shift to the other of the two resolution modes. The following
then applies:
Print Resolution OPTIMAL: HQ franking mode for stiff demands. This mode consumes more ink than
the normal mode.
Print Resolution NORMAL: Franking mode with standard resolution. Basis for calculating the service life
of the inkjet cassette.
