Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply open the ink bay of your Postbase machine, remove the empty unit, and insert the new cartridge until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the machine is powered on to allow for automatic initialization of the new ink supply. Compatibility is restricted to the Postbase series; verify your model number matches the manufacturer requirements for `58.0052.3046.00` before purchase.
