Status Monitor (PTStatus) 19
Ink cost is automatically and continuously calculated based
on the black and color cartridge costs entered. Only the last
printed label cost is displayed. For reference, the print file and
date of last print is displayed at the top of the window.
Adjust the cartridge costs according to the actual price paid
for them. The estimate does not take currency into account
so you can assume that whatever value you entered is
displayed in your currency.
Save a screen capture of the cost by clicking the disk icon.
Print a screen capture of the cost by clicking the printer
icon.
Important Note: The cost per label represents the average cost per label
over an entire run of labels. This means that the per label cost will
decrease and become more accurate as the number of labels printed
increases. This is because the ink that is used for beginning and
periodic cartridge maintenance is divided into a larger number
of labels.
D. REPLACING INK CARTRIDGES / LOW INK WARNING
You can replace cartridges at any time or wait for the Low Ink
Warning to prompt you to replace cartridges. Low Ink
Warnings occur at the following levels:
10% - If any cartridge is lower than 10% at the beginning of
a job you will be prompted to change that cartridge. At
this point you can change or ignore.
0% - If any cartridge reaches 0% during a job you will be
prompted to change that cartridge. At this point you can
change or ignore. Under normal circumstances this will be
your first warning. The 10% warning is only triggered at
the start of a job.
-10% - If at any point any cartridge is -10% you will be
prompted to change that cartridge. You must change the
cartridge to continue.
