Cleaning the ink cartridge manually

Caution! Improper cleaning can damage the ink cartridge and render it
useless. Note the following hints to avoid damage to the print system:
• In case of print quality issues, always run the automatic cleaning functions
first. Read chapter 16.2.1 on page 89.
• You should manually clean the ink cartridge in exceptional cases only
where intensive cleaning fails to restore the normal print quality.
• For cleaning, make sure to use a soft, lint free cloth moistened with
demineralised water. Small fibres could clog the nozzles.
Too hard or dry cloths could scratch the print nozzle plate. Such scratches
render the ink cartridge useless because they prevent the ink-jet from
being correctly positioned during printing.
• Never use any chemical cleaning agents.
Removing the ink cartridge
• Open the 'Menu'.
• Choose 'Ink Cartridge'.
• Choose 'Change Cartridge'.
The PostBase Vision M2 moves the ink car-
tridge into the change position and unlocks
the weighing unit.
When the weighing unit is unlocked:
• Hold the weighing unit by the handle and
carefully fold it upwards as far as it will go.
• Remove the ink cartridge. For details,
please read the 'Changing the ink car-
tridge' chapter from page 95.
Cleaning
Handle
• Moisten a lint free cloth with demineralised
water.
You can also use distilled water or normal tap
water if demineralised water is not available.
The minerals contained in tap water could,
however, leave residues in the print head.
