Abstract

See full text

A franking machine includes an inkjet print head including a row of nozzles operated selectively to print a postal mark on a mail item passing under the print head. Only consecutive first nozzles of the row of nozzles forming a subset of the set of available nozzles in the row are operated to print the postal mark. Other nozzles of the row of nozzles, different than the first nozzles, are operated when there is no mail item in front of the print head in order to purge the other nozzles in order to prevent them becoming clogged in time.
