Printer Properties

Navigate to Properties by following this sequence:

Start > Printers (or Printers and Faxes) > Right click Zebra P640i > Properties

Most of the tabs on the Properties screen (General, Sharing, etc.) are of the “set and forget” variety, page TN8-8. We start here with Device Settings, the location for all driver-controlled adjustments and displays.

Caution • Some of the sub menus under Device Settings are specific to the Print station, Mag encoder, and Laminator.

Refer to the relevant Tech Notes section.

Print Jobs

The number of the print job that is currently being processed. Next is meaningful only when the printer is not being driven by a PC. If the printer is being driven by a PC, the PC sets the job number to be the same as the PC-assigned spooler job number before sending to the printer.

Error Conditions: Normally, this displays “No Error”.

Images Left: The exact number of YMCK sets remaining on the color ribbon, as reported by the color ribbon core.

Enabled Features:

Uv Printing is enabled in manufacture, or by field technician.

ID/Code (the user password) is enabled by the user.

ID/Key requires installation of a physical key. This displays “Yes” once the printer has locked itself to the key, not just because it has the key installed.

Advanced: Click the Advanced button to display
