Frama Matrix F12 Franking Machine Overview

The Frama Matrix F12 is an entry-level franking machine released by Frama in 2014 to support Royal Mail’s then-new Mailmark service. It suits businesses sending up to around 50 items of mail per day and combines a manual feeder, a built-in weighing scale, LAN connectivity and smart meter technology.

Frama Matrix F12 features

This may be an entry-level model, but the Frama Matrix F12 comes with many useful features, ranging from up to date technologies to a built-in weighing scale. Its main features are described below.

Feeding system

The Frama Matrix F12 comes with a manual feeder as standard. This lets businesses frank at slower speeds to suit an average of around 50 mail items per day. The feeding system can frank onto any mail item 10mm thick or less, and larger parcels can be franked using franking labels.

Mailmark technology

The F12 was released for Mailmark in 2014 and so comes with Mailmark technology as standard. This lets businesses use the 2D Mailmark barcode when franking, giving access to lower franking prices, a LAN connection and mail tracking.

LAN connectivity

Because the machine is Mailmark compliant, you can connect it over a LAN. A LAN connection gives faster, more reliable download speeds and quicker re-crediting than a traditional telephone line.

Smart meter technology

Finally, the Frama Matrix F12 includes smart meter technology. This lets you frank mail in blue ink to improve readability, and use Royal Mail’s VAT services and products when franking – so businesses can reclaim any paid VAT from HMRC.
