Changing The Ink Cartridges - FP ultimail Operator's Manual

14.2

Changing the ink cartridges

The ultimail will remind you that the cartridges should be exchanged. If the ink car-
tridges are empty, the ultimail automatically starts the software-guided exchange pro-
cedure. The ultimail is no longer ready for operation. First replace the two cartridges
before you can start printing again.
If you wish to replace the ink cartridges before the exchange procedure is started
automatically, you can do this from the SET UP menu. Read the paragraph "Starting
the exchange procedure" on page 144.
We recommend keeping two ink cartridges in case the installed cartridges run out.
We advice to clean the contacts in the cartridge holder at each cartridge replacement.
Use the FP cleaning kit 'clean & renew for Ink-Jet Printsystem', available at
Francotyp-Postalia.
Warning! Ingestion of the ink can be damaging to your health. Avoid contact
with the eyes. Keep the ink cartridge away from children. Further instructions
for use are enclosed with the ink cartridges.
Caution! Please observe the following instructions for protection of the print
system:
• We recommend to use only approved FP equipment and FP original parts.
The manufacturer FP has established reliability, safety and applicability.
The manufacturer cannot assess the reliability, safety and applicability for
products not approved by FP, and therefore not vouch for such products.
• Always replace the ink cartridges in pairs. Always use new ink cartridges.
• Only replace cartridges if you are requested to do so by the ultimail. The
cartridges will then be in exchange position.
