2 • Getting Started with the DA700/DA750 Printer  
Follow these guidelines and safety precautions when se-  
lecting a location for your printer:  
Choosing a  
Location for  
Your Printer  
Place the printer on a table or other stable, level  
surface within the cable’s length (Parallel 10 feet  
max.; Serial 15 feet max.) of your computer.  
Allow for adequate space. The DA700/DA750 is 14.7  
inches high, 16.2 inches wide and 21.7 inches deep,  
without the wire frame input stacker.  
Allow for adequate ventilation around the base and  
rear of the printer.  
Protect the printer from heat, dust and moisture.  
Avoid placing the printer in direct sunlight.  
To protect against electric shock, plug the machine  
into a properly grounded wall outlet.  
Important  
Safety Notes  
DO NOT use an adapter plug. Use of an adapter  
could compromise the ground and cause a possible  
shock hazard or damage to the equipment in the  
event of a short circuit.  
DO NOT remove the ground pin from the line cord.  
Avoid using outlets controlled by wall switches.  
Someone could accidently shut your printer off.  
The power cord wall plug is the primary means of  
disconnecting the machine from the AC power. The  
wall outlet should be near the machine and easily ac-  
cessible.  
DO NOT route the power cord over sharp edges or  
trap it between pieces of furniture.  
Insure that there is no strain on the power cord where  
it passes between the equipment, walls or furniture.  
Be certain the area in front of the wall receptacle into  
which the machine is plugged is free from obstruc-  
tion.  
2-4  
SV61027 Rev. D  
Getting Started with the DA700/DA750 Printer • 2  
DO NOT remove covers. The machine covers serve  
to enclose hazardous parts. If the machine has been  
dropped or has otherwise had the covers stressed in any  
way, report it to your Pitney Bowes Customer Service  
Representative.  
Important  
Safety Notes  
(continued)  
To reduce the risk of fire and/or electrical shock, do not  
attempt to disassemble this machine. If service is re-  
quired, contact your Pitney Bowes Customer Service  
Representative.  
Keep fingers, loose clothing, jewelry and long hair away  
from the moving parts.  
Use only Pitney Bowes approved ink cartridges and  
cleaners. Read all instructions before attempting to oper-  
ate the equipment.  
Follow any specific occupational safety and health stan-  
dards for your workplace or area.  
Once you’ve placed the printer in a suitable location, assem-  
ble the printer components in the following order:  
Assembling the  
DA700/DA750

panel to move the carriage to the middle of the printer.  
Do not attempt to move the carriage by hand. Doing so  
can result in damage to the carriage assembly.  
4. Remove the cartridge from its shipping container by peel-  
ing the top cover off. Be careful not to touch the gold con-  
tacts.  
WARNING! The ink in the cartridge may be  
harmful if swallowed. Keep new and used  
cartridges out of reach of children. Discard  
empty cartridges immediately.  
5. Gently remove the tape covering the ink nozzles on the  
print cartridge, being careful not to touch the copper  
nozzles.

size, font, interface, barcode, material size and graphics.  
Print Qualities  
The printer has three selectable print qualities: Draft (fast-  
est speed), Letter (medium speed) and Executive (slowest  
speed).  
Internal Fonts  
A font is a set of characters (letters, numbers and symbols)  
that use the same typeface. The DA700/DA750 has thirteen  
(plus barcode) different typefaces: Courier, Sans Serif, Ro-  
man, Baxter, Ding bat, Hancock, Marina, Quincy, Silicon,  
Springer, Stencil, and Windmill. You can select these fonts  
from the printer control panel menus. If you set up a print job  
from your computer, you can use any font that is available  
from your software application.

1. Set the Separator Gap  
Setting Up A Job  
(continued)  
Whenever you switch from one material type to another, you  
need to set the gap between the separators and the feed  
roller before printing begins.  
NOTE: There are three positions of the "H" Blocks.  
Lever fully down - adjusted to media thickness (ready  
to operate).  
Lever midpoint - not adjusted to any media (free  
floating on media, not set up to operate).  
Lever fully up - locked in the up position, not adjusted  
to any media thickness.  
H-Blocks  
Setting the Proper Feed Gap  
1. Loosen the lock knobs to unlock all three H-Blocks.  
2. Lift the H-Blocks to their highest position and lock in  
place.  
3. Place a sample piece of material between the sepa-  
rator fingers (the lower section of the H-Blocks) and  
the feed roller.

contact with the material and let them touch the  
material.  
5. Lock each separator in place. When lowering the H-  
Blocks, check that the material is between the sepa-  
rator tabs and the feed roller.  
Setup Example Using #10 Envelopes:  
1. When you set the feed gap for a #10 envelope, note  
that the width of the envelope will fall completely un-  
der the inside and middle H-Blocks, but only half way  
under the outer H-Block. Follow steps 2 through 4 to  
fix this.  
2. Remove the sliding fence.  
3. Place a second envelope next to the first, under the  
outer H-Block. Place the second envelope flap down  
with the short edge under the outer H-Block.  
4. Lock the separator in place.  
NOTE: If the separator gap is not set properly, the  
printer will misfeed.  
If the gap is too big, the printer will feed doubles  
(two or more pieces at the same time).  
If the gap is too small, material will jam at the  
feed roller entrance.

5. Position the Feed Fence  
Setting Up A Job  
(continued)  
Your printer comes with two feed fences—a long one and a  
short one. Use the long fence for #10 envelopes and larger  
materials. Use the short fence for materials smaller than a  
#10 envelope.  
It is important that the sliding fence not be adjusted tight  
against the media.  
To position the fence:  
1. Place a sample piece or trial stack of material in the  
input area.  
2. Slide the fence until it almost touches the stack of  
material.  
3. Check that there's about 1/16" clearance (the thick-  
ness of a dime) between the fence and the stack.  
NOTE: Proper clearance is important. If you push the  
fence tight up against the stack, it could retard feeding  
and cause jams. If the clearance is too great, pieces  
could skew as they feed into the printer.  
Adjust Sliding Fence  
to media width.

6. Load Material  
Setting Up A Job  
(continued)  
Once your printer is set up, you can load material and make  
a test print.  
To avoid misfeeds, follow these instructions:  
1. Make sure the input area is free of dust and other  
matter.  
2. Take a manageable amount of material and while  
holding it as shown, fan all sides of the material to  
separate each piece. This step helps keep misfeeds  
to a minimum.  
3. Tamp the material on a flat surface, making sure  
that the stack is square.  
4. Shingle the stack as you load it into the input area.  
Load envelopes so the side to be printed aces up.  
Flaps should be down and oriented away from the  
feed roller (flaps trailing). Position the right edge of  
the envelopes flush against the rear wall.  
Begin with just a few envelopes to start the stack and  
get the proper contour, then add several more pieces.  
Then add the remainder of the stack.  
5. Adjust the position of the media thickness knob as  
described on the next page.

7. Adjust the Media Thickness Knob  
Setting Up A Job  
(continued)  
The media thickness knob sets the distance between the  
printhead and the material. Use it to compensate for differ-  
ent material thicknesses and to increase clarity of the print-  
ing.  
1. Estimate the thickness of the material to be run  
NOTE: All material in a run must be the same thickness.  
For envelopes with 0 - 2 inserts, start with the media thick-  
ness knob set as shown below. For 1/4" thick material,  
start with setting all the way at the Thick side. For 1/8",  
start 1/2 way.  
2. While running test samples, turn the knob  
counter-clockwise to close the gap until the desired  
quality of printing is obtained.  
NOTE: Adjusting the media thickness knob too far  
counter clockwise may cause smearing or jamming.

A Note about Print Quality  
Setting  
Up A Job  
(continued)  
The DA700/DA750 is designed to feed and print on a range  
of materials with various finishes and coatings. However  
the sharpness of the print may vary with different materials,  
depending on how absorbent the surface is, as well as other  
qualities.  
You'll get best results using white wove bonded stock. Print-  
ing is less sharp on Tyvek, recycled and glossy material. It is  
also possible that ink may not dry thoroughly on certain very  
glossy materials.  
Always test high gloss materials for their drying qualities be-  
fore you buy them in quantity and attempt to run a print job.  
A dryer may be needed for high gloss material.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the rollers do not touch any  
printed area of the material. If this happens, the rollers  
will act like a printing press and imprint a faint impression  
at incremental distances on the material. If this happens,  
move the roller or rollers toward the nearest clear zone,  
that is, an area free of printing.

capacity to 300 #10 envelopes.  
NOTE: As the stack approaches the 5" limit, there is a po-  
tential for stacking misfeed (pieces not neatly stacked one on  
top of the other). This can cause envelopes to stack out of  
ZIP Code sequence.

Preventive  
Maintenance  
The Pitney Bowes DA700/DA750 Ink Jet Printer is designed  
for trouble-free service with a minimal amount of care. You  
should schedule regular cleaning of the Feed Rollers, Exit  
Rollers and Lower Guide.  
Cleaning  
Caution  
Clean print head, cartridge, ink surfaces and covers with  
plain water only. (Water works best!)  
Clean all rubber rollers with the Pitney Bowes Multi-Purpose  
Cleaning Kit Number 902-0.  
Use of any other cleaning solvents will void all warranties.  
Keep petroleum based cleaning solvents away from rub-  
ber or plastic parts. Anything but the recommended Pitney  
Bowes Cleaning Kit solvent could cause premature break-  
down of the rubber compound.  
The print head performs a self cleaning cycle periodically. If  
print quality is unacceptable, try the following:  
Print Quality  
Problems  
Adjust the media thickness knob (page 3-18) to see if  
print quality improves. If the printhead is too high above  
the envelope, fuzzy printing results. If the knob is adjust-  
ed too low, envelopes jam or print smears.  
From the Setup Menu, select 3. Purge Printhead. The  
purging process clears any clogged ink on the print noz-  
zle. Often this returns the print quality to a normal level.  
See Appendix A, Control Panel Menus, for information  
on using this feature.•

Clean the print head cartridge: dampen a soft cotton  
cloth with water and wipe the nozzles clean (wipe in the  
proper directions).  
Print Quality  
Problems  
(continued)  
Install a new ink cartridge (page 2-12).  
If the right and left exit rollers are misaligned, that is, contact  
printed surfaces, they can become contaminated with ink.  
Use water to dampen a soft cloth and remove the ink from  
the rollers.  
Exit Rollers  
Sensor  
A film and/or dust can build up on the sensors and cause  
misfeeds of the material. Lift the transport door and use  
compressed air to blow dust from the sensors. Cans of  
compressed air are available from many computer supply  
houses.  
Periodically wipe the print head shaft clean with a dry, soft,  
lint free, cotton cloth. DO NOT OIL! Refer to illustration on  
the next page.

Your DA750 printer allows black (K) to print with color (CMY)  
at the same time. This is known as CMYK printing. To ensure  
proper printing, the black (K) and color cartridges (CMY)  
must be correctly aligned. Perform the alignment procedure  
below whenever you replace any of your cartridges.

Before calling our Technical Operations Center or your Pit-  
Problems and  
Solutions  
ney Bowes Customer Service Representative, look for your  
problem below. If you can solve the problem yourself, you  
will be able to resume printing sooner. Also review the FAQs  
on our web site.  
Problem  
Intermittent Feed  
Feed Problems  
Reason:  
Feed Ramp not used.  
Solution: The feed ramp adds a gentle slope to the  
stack and helps feeding. If you’re using the  
prop, check the H-Block gap for proper separa-  
tion. Also make sure the wire frame is centered  
under the material. See Chapter 3.  
Reason:  
Dirty feed rollers.  
Solution: Clean the feed roller with the Pitney Bowes Mul-  
tipurpose Cleaning Kit (Number 902-0).  
DO NOT use any other solvents or detergents.  
They could damage the feed rollers.  
Reason:  
Paper dust present (yellow or white residue),  
blocking feed sensor.  
Solution: Clean sensor with compressed air (see page  
5-3).  
Reason:  
Too much material in feeder (too heavy). Weight  
of stack must be 20 lbs. or less.  
Solution: Remove some material from stack.

Problem  
Gray or Light Print - Black Ink Off Color or  
Low Intensity - Color Ink (DA750 only)  
Reason:  
Ink supply is low, or media thickness knob is set  
too high.  
Solution: Check adjustment of the media thickness knob  
(page 3-18). If this fails to correct the problem,  
replace ink cartridge (pages 2-12, 2-13).

loading fonts or graphics.  
Solution: This generally means you’re trying to use a  
graphic (artwork) that’s too big or you have too  
many fonts or too large a font size. If the out-of-  
memory message appears, try reducing the size  
of your art and limiting the number and size of  
your fonts. Then shut the printer OFF, then ON

ity printout. Executive quality prints envelopes that require a  
professional appearance.  
B. Letter Quality  
Black - 300 x 600 DPI  
Color - 300 x 200 DPI (DA750 only)  
Letter quality is used for envelopes that require a finished,  
polished appearance.  
C. Draft Quality (150 DPI)  
Black - 200 x 600 DPI  
Color - 300 x 150 DPI (DA750 only)  
This is the lightest of the three and prints at the fastest  
speed. Draft quality prints envelopes at the highest speed  
and saves ink.

Hex Chart  
SV61027 Rev. D  
A-29  
Appendix A • Control Panel Menus  
EXAMPLE:  
6. Hex  
Dump Mode  
(continued)  
The capital letter A is a Hex 41. Find the letter A on the  
above chart, and look towards the top of the chart (MSB)  
and locate the Hex number 4. Then look to the left side of  
the chart (LSB) and locate the HEX number 1. Therefore the  
Hex number is MSB=4 and LSB 1= 41.  
This chart can be easily understood by memorizing five Hex  
codes: Capital A is 41 Hex, numbers are 30’s (0 is 30 Hex, 1  
is 31 Hex etc.), Carriage Return (CR) is 0D, Line Feed (LF)  
is 0A and Form Feed is 0C.  
When Hex Mode is disabled, a typical address will be printed  
on a single envelope. When Hex Mode is enabled, the same  
address will be printed on several envelopes (3 to 5) be-  
cause Hex codes are two digits each separated by brackets.  
Since a capital letter A is a Hex [41], there are 4 elements  
printed for each character of the address.  
When reviewing addresses printed in Hex mode, start from  
the end of the address (ZIP Code 30’s number) and count  
backward toward the beginning of the address. Count the  
number of CRs [0D] and LFs [0A]. Verify that the printer’s  
address setup has the same number of CRs and LFs as the  
address printed. If there is a variation in the number of CRs  
or LFs between addresses, then the address MUST be ter-  
minated with a (form feed) FF [0C] (within the data sent to  
the printer).  
When you’re finished using this option, use the Menu button  
to back out of the menu until the printer displays OFFLINE.  
Then press the ON LINE button and send addresses to the  
printer.
