Important: Only use genuine Pitney Bowes ink cartridges. Non-Pitney Bowes cartridges can damage
your meter. If you need ink, order a genuine Pitney Bowes replacement ink cartridge. When your meter
shows the low ink warning an ink cartridge will be ordered for you automatically, if you are enrolled in the
AutoInk program. You can enable AutoInk through My Account on the Pitney Bowes web site.

Printing a test pattern

postage funds. If the sample has broken or missing lines, you may need to replace the ink cartridge or
print head.
1. Tap the Settings (gear) icon in the global toolbar.
2. Scroll down and tap Mail Printer Maintenance or Envelope Printer Maintenance .
3. Tap Print Test Pattern.
4. When the message "Print a Test Pattern?" displays, feed the envelope through the machine.
5. Examine the pattern printed on the envelope:
Tap Done if the lines are unbroken and match the "Good" test pattern shown on the display.

Tap Clean Print Nozzle if the test pattern has missing or incomplete lines

If this new pattern still has broken or missing lines, you may need to replace the ink
n
cartridge or clean or replace the printhead.
Note: If you see no improvement in print quality, do not repeat the cleaning, as cleaning the print
nozzles consumes ink.
The accessories, such as ink cartridges, print heads and similar printing consumables, must be
l
replaced regularly to ensure high print quality.
