Maintaining the Ink System

The Mailing System uses ink jet technology to print impression. The ink tank used for
printing is located in the Mailing System base and contains an ink that is compulsory
for postal transactions.
The Ink tank is specific to the system base in which it has been installed. Never try to
install it in another Mailing System.
When the tank is empty, it must be replaced.
The ink jet technology requires clean print-head nozzles to provide excellent printing
quality. The system performs that cleaning automatically.
