Cleaning the sensors of the PostBase

Over time, paper dust may settle on the franking machine's sensors and cause
problems with recognizing positioned letters. We recommend cleaning the sensors in
the PostBase once a month to ensure optimal results. You can order a special
cleaning kit from Francotyp-Postalia.
