How do I fix poor print quality on the SendPro C Auto / Auto+?

Streaky, fuzzy, spotty, partial or missing print is usually a print head or ink cartridge problem. Print a test pattern, then clean the print head if needed.

1. Tap Settings, scroll to Envelope Printer Settings and tap Envelope Printer Maintenance.
2. Tap Print Test Pattern and feed an envelope or tape sheet through.
3. If it matches the good example, tap Done. If it matches the bad example, tap Clean Print Nozzle and print another test pattern.

Important: If there is no improvement, do not keep repeating the cleaning, as cleaning the nozzles consumes ink. You may need to replace the ink cartridge or print head.

How do I feed envelopes properly on the SendPro C Auto / Auto+?

Feeding envelopes correctly avoids skew and jams.

1. Hold the far edge of the envelope against the back wall of the feeder.
2. Slide it in until you feel it touch the rollers and hear the motor start — do not release it until the feeder grabs it.
3. Feed envelopes one at a time, each pressed against the back wall, and make sure they fully exit the feeder (extend the stacker tray if needed).

Note: If you do not hold the envelope against the back wall it can feed in skewed, which can leave no postage or cause a “Clear Paper Jam”. Do not pull an envelope back out once the feeder has grabbed it. To help prevent jams, blow non-flammable compressed air across the feed deck to remove dust and debris.
