Access Printer Sensor Data
To access Sensor Data, select Start > Printers (or Printers and Faxes). Right click Zebra
P630i or Zebra P640i, then select Properties > Device Settings > Control > Advanced
Utilities > Show Sensor Data.
• Ribbon Panel Detect - The current reading of the Color Sensor.
• Panel Threshold - The current value of the detection threshold for the color ribbon.
Above this value is termed “black,” below this value is termed “not black.”
• Laminate Sensors - Reflective sensor that detect the presence of laminate on the transfer
rollers: below 124 = laminate present, above 140 = laminate absent.
• Card Presence Sensor - The reflective sensor to the right of the card hopper:
High = no card, Low = card present
• Printhead Voltage - Should be about 24V.
• AC Frequency - 50 or 60 Hz.
• Assumed AC Voltage - 110V assumed for 60 Hz.
• Printhead Temperature - Temperature ceiling 70°C (above that temperature, printing is
stopped until the head cools).
• Controller Board Temperature - Should be about 5° above ambient.
• Heater Temperature - Temperatures at the top and bottom laminate heater cores.
• Logic States - Summarizes all two-state interlocks and photo sensors -- a very useful
diagnostic tool. For example: opening/closing the doors will result in the logic states to
commute from 1 to 0; and if not, it is a clear indication the sensor (switch) is faulty.
