Section 3: Ink Cartridges (Status Monitor)
PTStatus or Status Monitor is used to interact with the printer for gathering ink levels, maintenance, alignment, cost calcula- tion and several other functions.
PTStatus automatically installs with your printer driver and can be accessed through the printer driver preferences or as a program on your Windows start menu.
1.Connect the printer via USB and turn on the power. The Status Monitor accesses most of the information it uses from the printer itself so the printer must be turned on and communicating for the program to open.
2.Go to Start - Programs - Primera Technology - PTPStatus Once open, the Status Monitor consist of four tabs that are arranged on the left side of the window. Each tab opens a screen that has various similar functions. The tabs will only be displayed if the printer is idle (not printing).
•Ink Tab (First Tab). Displays ink levels, pauses or cancels a job, displays print counter.
•Cartridge Utilities Tab (Second Tab). Aligns Print Head, Cleans Print Head and Changes the Cartridges.
•Alignment Tab (Third Tab). Adjust vertical and horizontal print alignment, Changes the stock sensor mode and toggles the output mode.
•Cost Tab (Fourth Tab). Calculates cost per label based on last label printed.
In addition to these functions you can also click the "i" icon to access the Primera Knowledgebase, contact tech support, gather version information or set applications options.
