Pattern<br />

lines going through it, you will need to perform printer maintenance. First,<br />

clean the printer nozzle.<br />

1. Press the Menu key.<br />

2. Select Maintenance.<br />

3. Select Clean Printer Nozzle. The print engine performs a cleaning<br />

cycle on the nozzles.<br />

4. Select Print Test Pattern from the Maintenance menu to make sure<br />

the print nozzles are cleaned and the digital indicia is of high quality. For<br />

more information, see Printing a Test Pattern in this chapter.<br />

spending any of your postage funds.<br />

print on a tape.<br />

5. Once the test pattern prints, the system asks you if the test pattern<br />

printed correctly.<br />

Lines are unbroken screen key. Go to step 10.<br />
