About the Ink Cartridge
The ink cartridge for printing is located in the Mailing System and contains fluorescent
red 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 automatic cleaning
is not sufficient.
The ink cartridge also contains two print heads that have to be aligned.
If you observe poor print quality (streaked, too light, blurred,
etc.), see Cleaning Cartridge on page 248.
