Page 12 Chapter Printer Overview There are three printer configurations: Enclosed Cabinet (P72XX) • The enclosed cabinet models provide for near silent operation, making these printers perfectly suitable for use in the quietest of office environments. • Provides the best paper handling for large print runs. All paper input and output is contained inside the cabinet and protected from bumping and contamination.
Page 13: Consumable Monitoring With Printnet Enterprise
Consumable Monitoring With PrintNet Enterprise The Integrated Print Management System works with PrintNet Enterprise (PNE). PNE allows a system administrator to remotely view the current consumable status of all printers. PNE can be configured to deliver alerts on all consumable warnings. When a ribbon reaches the low state, PNE notifies the system administrator remotely via an automated e-mail alert of the low condition.

Page 47: The Configuration Menus
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.
Page 48: Default And Custom Configurations
Chapter Configuration Overview Default And Custom Configurations A configuration consists of a group of parameter settings, such as line spacing, forms length, etc. Your printer provides a fixed default configuration and allows you to define several custom configurations for use with particular print jobs.

Your IPDS printer emulates the IBM 4234 twinax models 008 and 012. IPDS Twinax printers can only print IPDS data streams and nothing else. Even a simple job, such as a screen print, is IPDS data in a twinax attachment. Because the printer definition on a twinax host is either set automatically (by auto configuration) or manually, the printer type is already known.

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.
Page 254: Interior Cleaning
Chapter 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.
Page 255 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 catridge. 6.
