Section 3: Brady Status J5000

Brady Status J5000 is used to interact with the printer for gathering ink levels,
maintenance, alignment, and several other functions.
Brady Status J5000 automatically installs with your printer driver and can be accessed
through the printer driver preferences or as a program on your Windows start menu.
1. Connect the printer via USB or Ethernet and turn on the power. The Brady Status
J5000 accesses most of the information it uses from the printer itself so the printer
must be turned on and communicating for the program to open.
2. Go to Start - Programs – Brady Corp – Brady Status J5000. Once open, the Brady
Status J5000 consists of three tabs that are arranged on the left side of the window.
Each tab opens a screen that has various similar functions. The tabs will only be
displayed if the printer is idle (not printing).
