How do I Print a Proof Print? A proof print is simply a one page print job using the same PTPrint file that you created using the instructions in Section 5. Go to File - Print. Set your number of copies to 1. Click OK.

It is not necessary to tape the proof print to the rewinder. The proof print will print approximately 4 feet of label stock. The stock will be automatically cut.

What happens if I don't print a Proof Print? If you do not print a proof print and you have "Require Proof Print" checked in settings, a notice will appear informing you that a one page job will be sent to the printer instead of your original job. If you do not have "require proof print" enabled, and you do not print a proof print you will not be warned if you do not have enough toner to finish the job.

6.3 Managing Used Toner Cartridges

If the printer runs out of toner, the job will be stopped and the paper will be cut. The printer can not pause a job while you swap out toner because of calibration issues and physical issues with the image transfer unit and the fuser. Because of this, it is important to make sure you have enough toner in all the cartridges to finish your job. Printing a proof print before a job allows you to check if you will have enough toner to finish your job. See Section 6.2.

In many cases, a job will use only part of the toner in a cartridge. For example, if a particular job uses 75% of the toner in a

cartridge that leaves you with 25% remaining. If the next job requires 50% of that particular color you can not use that car- tridge. The 25% cartridge will have to be removed. However, you don't need to waste this cartridge. You can write the remain- ing toner amount on the cartridge before you before you remove it.

You may also print a Supplies Sheet before removing the cartridge. This summary includes the percentage remaining in each cartridge and the Serial Number of that cartridge. You can then attach this information to the cartridge you are removing. In a few weeks if you have a job that needs less than 25% of that color you can pull this cartridge from your library and put it in the printer. This means that you can keep a library of partially used toner cartridges with varying amounts of toner left. This allows you to use as much toner as possible with out running out of toner in the middle of a job. See the diagram below for an example of how this works.
