Daily Startup Procedures
You may want to design a checklist for operators to follow each day. Here
are a few suggested items: Turn on the printer and host, make sure ribbon
and supplies are loaded, make sure communication parameters are set, and
download packets from the host to the printer.
You may want to keep records of supplies that have been printed. A good
way to do this is to design a print log for operators to complete at the end of
the day. Here are some suggestions for types of information to include in a
print log: date, operator’s name, format name, supply size, quantity printed,
evaluation of print quality, and problems/comments.
Keep backup copies of your format, batch data, check digit, and graphic
packets.
