Printing a Test Print

Make sure that the AstroJet 1000 printer is properly connected to the computer and turned ON.

Open the “Control Panel” either from the desktop or from the icon in the layout editor. Click on the

Load Job icon and select the job you wish to run. Then click Load Job.

Once the job is loaded the first

record to be run will appear.

Click on the Print Record

button and the window on the

right will appear. You have the

choice of either selecting the

number of prints that you wish

to print (the default is 1) or

selecting Unlimited, which will

allow the printer to run the

same record until you press the

Select key to stop the feed.

NOTE: This feature may be used at anytime during the printing of your job to check setup

or to rerun lost records.

Printing the Job

Click on the GO button to begin printing the job. The AstroJet 1000 will begin by rendering the

fonts and logos then download them to the printer. Depending on the complexity of the page this

process may take up to a few minutes. Once a font or logo is rendered, the AstroJet 1000 can call

it up from this folder for reuse the next time a job that uses that particular font style or logo is run.

Monitoring the Job

The AstroJet 1000 can be stopped by pressing the SELECT key or by clicking on STOP in the

Control Panel software without affecting the job. The printer will resume printing at exactly the

same point in the database when it is restarted.

during the running of a job from the printer’s control panel. Once the AstroJet 1000 power is turned off
