Cleaning the
Printer Nozzle
You can clean the printer nozzle at any time by following these steps:
1. From the IntelliLink® Control Center, press the Menu key.
2. Select Maintenance.
3. Select Clean Printer Nozzle. The “Cleaning Print Nozzle” screen dis-
plays until the cleaning operation completes.
4. Once the cleaning operation completes, the “Print Test Pattern” screen
appears.
5. Print a test pattern as described above in Printing a Test Pattern to
verify that you can print a clean and clear meter stamp.
6. Repeat this operation at least one more time.
8. Once the cleaning operation completes, the “Print Test Pattern” screen
appears again.
9. Repeat steps 5 and 6 again. If the print pattern still has broken or miss-
ing lines, you may need to replace the ink cartridge (see Replacing the
Ink Cartridge) or printhead (see Changing the Printhead).
If the test pattern is ok, go to step 10.
10. Press the left arrow key to return to the postage screen.
