3 Operating The Printer Powering On The Printer When you power on the printer, it executes a self-test. The default power-up state is online. When the self-test completes and the software has initialized successfully, the status indicator light turns on, indicating the printer is online. The default value of the type of emulation you have installed appears in the upper right corner of the display. The ribbon life remaining is shown on the second line.
Chapter 3 The Control Panel The Control Panel Figure 5 shows the keys, displays, and indicators as they appear on the control panel. The following section provides the descriptions, and functions of the control panel keys. Key combinations are indicated with the plus (+) sign. For example, “Press U + V” means to press the U key and the V key at the same time.
Control Panel Keys PAPER ADVANCE Performs advance to top-of-form, as defined by the current active form length. The key works both online and offline. • If online with data in the printer buffer, the data will print and then the paper will move to the next top-of-form. • In the fault state, PAPER ADVANCE will advance the paper. The first press moves to the top of the next available form. All subsequent presses advances one forms length as defined by the current active forms length.
Chapter 3 The Control Panel SET TOF Sets the top-of-form on the printer. This key is active only when the printer is offline and will not operate if the printer is in a fault condition. The paper moves down to the print position and aligns to the top-of-form. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for complete instructions on how to set the top-of-form. NOTE: If there is any data in the buffer, the paper will move to the last print position.

Output Darkness Integrated Print Management System The P7000 has a new feature that automatically monitors and communicates the status of the ribbon life to help the operator know when to change ribbons. Using an ink delivery system called the Cartridge Ribbon System (CRS), the printer can automatically detect when a new or used ribbon is loaded, and all ribbon properties. The ribbon is contained in a plastic box (the cartridge) and feeds only in one direction.
Chapter 3 Integrated Print Management System Loading a Used Ribbon Cartridge You can take the ribbon cartridge off the printer and reload it at a later time. The ribbon life gauge automatically updates to reflect the correct remaining capacity. NOTE: Since the ribbon usage information is stored on the ribbon cartridge, you can reload a partially used cartridge onto a different printer.
Changing Ribbon Cartridge Changing Ribbon Cartridge Before changing the ribbon cartridge, determine whether at the end of ribbon life if you want to make the print lighter (extend the ribbon life) or darker (shorten the ribbon life). If you want to make the print lighter or darker, go to “Ribbon End Point” on page 83 and follow the procedures for adjusting the image density. If you are satisfied with the print darkness, continue with the following steps.

4 The Configuration Menus Configuration Overview To print data, the printer must respond correctly to signals and commands received from the host computer. Configuration is the process of matching the printer's operating characteristics to those of the host computer and to specific tasks, such as printing labels or printing on different sizes of paper. The characteristics which define the printer's response to signals and commands received from the host computer are called configuration parameters.
Chapter 4 Configuration Overview Changing Parameter Settings You may change a printer parameter setting, such as line spacing or forms length, either by pressing keys on the control panel or by sending emulation control codes in the data stream from a host attached to the printer. The control panel allows you to configure the printer’s resident set of configuration menus. An example procedure for using the control panel to change parameter settings begins on page 50.

Chapter 4 IGP/VGL Emulation Data Bit 8 • Enable (default). The PI line is not passed directly from host to printer; all 8 bits are used for data bits, and characters in the hex 80-FF range can be accessed. • Disable. When the host PI line is enabled, Data Bit 8 internally indicates PI line status. To use the PI line, disable Data Bit 8, and enable the Host PI configuration option (under the PI Control option, below). NOTE: Data Bit 8 is interpreted as either Data Bit 8 or PI signal, but never both.
Prt To Emulate This option allows you to select an earlier model printer/IGP board combination to emulate. When a printer emulation is selected, the scaling command causes the printer to generate a graphic image in the same density as the printer emulation chosen. Five types of printers can be emulated: MVP or MVP 150B, L150, P3040, P6000, and P9000. Once a printer emulation is selected, it remains active until the printer is turned off or another printer emulation is selected.

No. Deactiviates the barcode optimization feature. Test. Boxes will print around all barcodes that are detected and optimized. This provides a simple method to confirm that the software correctly detects and optimizes all the barcodes on any given form.
Chapter 4 OpenPrint SURE SCAN Menu Replacement Barcode Original Barcode Any form elements (text, graphics, or dots) immediately to the right of the original barcode can force this first attempted placement to be modified. The replacement barcode will shift left to avoid obstacles on the right provided that there are also no obstacles on the left.
OpenPrint SURE SCAN Menu Postscript/PDF Interpreter • Center (default). The first attempted position of the center bar of the replacement barcode will be the same position as the center bar of the original barcode.
Chapter 4 OpenPrint SURE SCAN Menu If form elements interfere with this placement on the right or the left, the barcode will automatically adjust away from these obstacles. Form obstacles may force a center-aligned barcode to look left or right aligned. For instance, in the below picture, a center-aligned barcode has text 0.2 inches away from the right edge of the original barcode. With a horizontal quiet zone of 0.
OpenPrint SURE SCAN Menu Postscript/PDF Interpreter If the replacement barcode is larger than the original barcode, the replacement barcode will end at the right edge of the original barcode and extend past the left edge. Any form elements (text, graphics, or dots) immediately to the left of the original barcode, however, can force this first attempted placement to be modified. The replacement barcode will shift right to avoid obstacles on the left provided that there are also no obstacles on the right.
Chapter 4 OpenPrint SURE SCAN Menu Ver. Erase Zone This menu defines the area above and below the bars that will be erased, regardless of picket fence or ladder orientation. It is used when the barcode has extraneous data beyond the bars that need to be deleted as it is being optimized. The height of the area can be defined between 0 and 0.99 inches in 0.01 inch increments. The default is 0 inches (no empty space).
OpenPrint SURE SCAN Menu Postscript/PDF Interpreter Update PDF There are two distinct cases with barcode PDFs. In the first case, the PDF is partially embedded in the barcode such that erasing the bars also erases the PDF. In the second case, the PDF is printed entirely above or below the barcode and is not disturbed by the barcode replacement. Whenever the PDF is embedded in the barcode such that erasing the bars also erases the PDF, the embedded PDF will be automatically detected and replaced.
Chapter 4 OpenPrint SURE SCAN Menu Barcodes on Page This setting defines the number of barcodes that must be detected on the form. If the value is set to “Auto” (default), no particular number of barcodes are required to be detected. If the value is set to a number between 1 to 20, then the number of barcodes set is required to be detected on each form. If the printer detects fewer barcodes than the value set, the fault “x/y BARCODES / Not Found” is declared.

7 Troubleshooting Cleaning Requirements Clean the printer every six months or after every 1000 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. If the printer is located in a dusty area or is used for heavy duty printing, clean it more often. WARNING Disconnect the power source before cleaning the printer. Vor dem Säubern des Druckers ist die Netzverbindung zu unterbrechen. Débranchez l’alimentation avant de nettoyer l’imprimante. Desconecte la fuente de energía antes de limpiar la impresora.
Chapter 7 Cleaning Requirements Interior Cleaning Over time, particles of paper and ink accumulate inside the printer. This is normal. Paper dust and ink build-up must be periodically removed to avoid degraded print quality. Most paper dust accumulates around the ends of the platen and ribbon path.
Interior Cleaning To clean the interior of the printer perform the following steps. 1. Power off the printer and unplug the printer power cord. 2. Open the printer cover. 3. Fully raise the platen lever. 4. Unload the paper. 5. Remove the ribbon cartridge. 6. Lift the ribbon out of the ribbon path. 7. Brush the paper dust and ribbon lint off the tractors, shuttle cover assembly, and base casting with a soft-bristled, non-metallic brush (such as a toothbrush). Vacuum up the residue.
Chapter 7 Diagnosing Problems Diagnosing Problems This section is designed to help you fix problems which may arise with normal printer operation. Bar Code Verification The most important consideration when printing a bar code is to ensure that the bar code will be scanned properly. Incorporating a bar code quality procedure in the printing process is the best way to ensure that bar codes are being printed correctly.
Printing A Hex Dump Printing A Hex Dump A hex code printout (or hex dump) is a translation of all host interface data to its hexadecimal equivalent, listing all ASCII character data received from the host computer with their corresponding two-digit hexadecimal codes. Hex dumps are used to troubleshoot printer data reception problems. Printable characters print as the assigned symbol; nonprintable characters are indicated by a period (.). Figure 26 shows an example of a hex dump. Figure 26.

C Zero Tear Printer Overview The P7000 Zero Tear (ZT) printer can print a form and present it for tear off without losing a form between print jobs. The printer automatically presents the current print line to the tear bar when it finishes printing and no data are being sent to the printer. When it receives more data from the host computer, the printer pulls the form down to the print station and resumes printing.

The Paper Out Sensor The paper out sensor indicates when the printer runs out of paper. (The sensor does not work with black backed forms.) Unlike the standard pedestal printer, the ZT printer requires you to load the paper through the paper out sensor slot (Figure 29 and Figure 32).
Set The Tear Bar Distance Set The Tear Bar Distance To set the tear bar distance, do the following steps: 1. Make sure the printer is offline. 2. Press ENTER key to enter the menu. 3. Press the right arrow Z until “OFFLINE/ZTP Menu” displays. 4. Press the down arrow V. “ZTP Data Time” displays. 5. Press the right arrow Z until “ZTP TearDistance” displays. 6. Press the down arrow V. “ZTP TearDistance/xx/144 Inch” displays. 7.
Appendix C Operation Set The Top Of Form Paper Tear Bar Form Advance Knob 183491b Figure 34. Setting The Tear Off Position The ZT printer uses the tear bar as the reference point for setting the tear off position. To set the position of the forms perforation to the tear bar, use the SET TOF button as follows: 1. Make sure the paper guides are adjusted correctly and the paper is properly loaded. 2. Press the SET TOF button on the control panel.
Set The Top Of Form ZTP SETTINGS Menu The ZTP SETTINGS menu includes the ability to enable and disable features unique to the Zero Tear printer (ZTP), set the tear bar distance, set the auto present data time, and set the auto present wait time. This section defines these options. ZTP SETTINGS 1 (from page 64, 66, 68, 70, 72, 74, and 76) ZTP Function Enable* Disable * = Factory Default Available for Zero Tear Pedestal printers only. 1 ZTP TearDistance ZTP Data Time 1060/144 Inch* .5 Sec* 1.0 - 15.
Appendix C Performance Limitations ZTP Platen Open This option allows the user to have the platen open whenever forms are reversed. Enabled is the default, used for most papers and labels. The feature can be disabled as required by some multi-part forms. Performance Limitations Forms Type The paper feed tractors on the ZT printer push the paper up through the print station instead of pulling it through, as in the standard pedestal printer. This limits the variety of forms the ZT printer can use.
Set The Top Of Form Paper Jams Printer jams can occur if you tear off the form incorrectly. If you experience two or more paper jams per box of forms, follow these guidelines to help reduce jams: • • • • • Position the lower paper guides properly Align the paper web tightness properly Position the form perforation against the tear bar Time the tear, while the paper is not moving Direct the tear force toward the user and across the tear bar, not upward.
