Replacing the Ink Cartridge

“Low Ink - Order Ink” appears on the IntelliLink® Control Center main

screen when there is only enough ink for approximately 10 days of mailing.

You can choose to ignore this warning - refer to the Configuring Low Ink

Warning section in Chapter 5 in this guide.

Your actual ink usage will vary depending on whether you routinely print

advertisements or inscriptions and how may pieces of mail you print per

day.

“Low Ink” displays approximately two days before the ink runs out. You can

print about another 300 meter stamps or leave the mailing system running

for six days without printing. If you do not have a replacement cartridge,

order one now. Refer to Supplies and Options, Chapter 12 in this guide.

“Out of Ink” displays when there is no more ink left in the cartridge and your

mailing system stops printing. In order to resume printing you must change

the ink cartridge.

To replace the ink cartridge:

1. Lift up the main cover and

locate the ink cartridge lid.

WARNING! Use Pitney Bowes ink cartridges to ensure best

printer performance. Other ink cartridges may cause: poor

print quality, rejected/returned mail and uncovered service

expenses.

WARNING! The ink in the cartridge may be harmful if swal-

lowed. Keep new and used cartridges out of reach of chil-

dren. Discard empty cartridges immediately.

WARNING! Do not remove the ink cartridge if the printhead is

not installed. If the ink cartridge and printhead are removed at

the same time, ink from the print supply line will flow down the

tube and squirt from the needle in the ink cartridge holder out

into the printer and system interior.

WARNING! Make sure there is enough room to fully lift the

main cover without bumping the IntelliLink® 

Control Center.
