Items to Keep On Hand

Cleaning the Exterior

Tape Maintenance

The following is a list of items you should keep on hand:

•Ink Cartridge

•Tape Roll

•E-Z Seal® Sealing Solution

Refer to Chapter 11, Supplies and Options for details on how to order these items.

To clean the outside of your mailing system, wipe it off with a soft dry cloth.

Do not use harsh chemical cleaners. If necessary, use only Windex® or soapy water.

You may clean the display screen on the IntelliLink® Control Center with a mild glass cleaner and soft cloth.

CAUTION: Do not pour or spray cleaner directly on the display screen or machine. Spray on the cloth and wipe the screen with the dampened cloth.

Tape maintenance consists of installing a new tape roll.

The DM Series™ Digital Mailing System uses adhesive tape. A red stripe appears along its edge approximately 22 inches from the end to indicate a low tape condition. Replace the tape when the stripe appears. To order new tape, refer to Chapter 11, Supplies and Options in this guide.

CAUTION: If you do not use Pitney Bowes supplied tape, you will not be able to determine when the tape is run- ning out and this may cause a jam.

The red stripe on the tape notifies you that you are run- ning low on tape. There is also a black stripe that tells the machine when it is out of tape. When the system detects the black stripe on the tape it stops the machine. At this point there is still a small amount of tape on the roll.

•If you install a new roll before the system actually runs out of tape, go to

Tape is still on roll in this section.

•If the system runs out of tape and the message “Out of Tape” appears on the display, go to Tape has run out in this section.
