B. USING THE COST ESTIMATOR

The cost estimator is found on the last tab of the Status Monitor. The Status Monitor automatically opens as soon as you begin printing. However, you can also access it at any time as long as the printer is turned on and communicating by going to Start - Programs - Primera Technology - PTStatus.

Ink cost is automatically and continuously calculated based on the black and color cartridge costs entered. Only the last printed label cost is displayed. For reference, the print file and date of last print is displayed at the top of the window.

Adjust the cartridge costs according to the actual price paid for them. The estimate does not take currency into account so you can assume that whatever value you entered is displayed in your currency.

Save a screen capture of the cost by clicking the disk icon.

Print a screen capture of the cost by clicking the printer icon.

Important Note: The cost per label represents the average cost per label over an entire run of labels. This means that the per label cost will decrease and become more accurate as the number of labels printed increases. This is because the ink that is used for beginning and periodic cartridge maintenance is divided into a larger number

of labels.
