Job In Process; Media Handling Modes - Printronix T8000 Administrator's Manual

Users can follow the simple instructions shown in the screen or request additional help with the faults by
using the RIGHT SOFT key "Fault Help" if available. When Fault Help is selected, the user will be
provided a set of screens to help them through the process. However, Fault Help is only offered for faults
that are complex or require several steps with the printer mechanism.
The user can also choose via the LEFT SOFT key to go the "Home" screen, then to the
Wizard sections to adjust menu values (e.g., change media parameters, load Configs, etc.).
NOTE:
The icon will be shown in the upper right corner as a reminder there is a fault that needs
to be cleared. Even when the user has completed all the steps necessary, the icon may
continue to be shown. Some faults are self-clearing in the OFFLINE state while other faults
are cleared only when returning ONLINE. If any fault was not successfully cleared, the Fault
screen shown above will reappear when the user attempts to return ONLINE.

Job in Process

There is no dedicated LED or status indicator for Job in Process. Users will know the printer is receiving
data instead via messages in the circled portion of the ONLINE screen as shown below.
When the printer is in ONLINE mode and data is being received and being processed, the message "Job
in Process" will be shown in the message area. After the job has been printed the message will go away.
If the user is printing in batch mode and the option System > Control > Batch Counter is enabled, the
page count will have priority over the 'Job in Process' message.
When the printer is in OFFLINE mode and in the Home screen, the LEFT SOFT key will be labeled
"Cancel Data" if there is Data in Buffer when the printer is taken OFFLINE. If there is no Data in Buffer, then
the LEFT SOFT key label will not show anything. In order for the Cancel Data operation to be available, the
menu System > Control > Cancel Key must be enabled.

Media Handling Modes

Before you load media, you must decide which media handling mode to use:

Continuous. Prints on the media and sends it out the front of the printer. When the optional internal
rewinder is installed, use "Continuous" for Batch Rewind Mode page 26.
