  • Page 13: Integrated Print Management System

    Integrated Print Management System Integrated Print Management System The P7000 has a new feature that automatically monitors and communicates ribbon life. Using a specially barcoded spool, the printer can automatically detect when a new or used ribbon is loaded, and all ribbon properties. With a sophisticated algorithm, the system monitors all jobs printed and automatically updates the remaining ribbon life on the front panel display.
  • Page 14 Chapter 1 Printer Overview If a lighter setting is selected, the system will extend the amount of printing it takes to reach zero. Ribbon Flipping In some cases, the application’s print pattern is narrow enough where only half of the ribbon is used when printing. In these cases, you can flip the ribbon and use the other half.

  • Page 15: Graphics Enhancements

    Graphics Enhancements 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.
