16 Status Monitor (PTStatus)
Section 3: Status Monitor (PTStatus)
PTStatus or Status Monitor is used to interact with the printer for
gathering ink levels, maintenance, alignment, cost calculation 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, Print head life, 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.
