Page 42: Integrated Print Management System
Chapter Integrated Print Management System Integrated Print Management System The Integrated Print Management System feature automatically monitors and communicates the status of the ribbon’s life to help the operator know when to change ribbons. Using a special bar coded spool, the P7000 automatically detects when a new or used ribbon is installed and determines the ribbon’s length, ink color, and expected yield.
Page 43: Changing Ribbons
Changing Ribbons Changing Ribbons Before changing the ribbon, determine whether at the end of ribbon life if you want to make the print lighter (extend the ribbon life) or darker (shorten the ribbon life). If you want to make the print lighter, go to “Ribbon End Point” on page 218 and follow the procedures for adjusting the image density.

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.

Page 65: Active Emulation
ZTP Data Time This option sets the pause time in the data stream that the ZTP requires before moving the form to the tear bar once a print job is completed. The values range from .5 to 5 seconds. The default is .5 seconds. ZTP Wait Time This option sets the minimum amount of time that the form stays at the tear bar.
Page 66: Form Length
Chapter QUICK SETUP Printer Protocol Select the LinePrinter+ protocol you wish to use. Refer to the LinePrinter Plus Programmer's Reference Manual for more information. Form Length Form length is the number of lines that can be printed on a page. You can set the form length in inches, millimeters (mm), or as a function of the current lpi (lines per inch).
Page 67: Form Width
Form Length Form length is the number of lines that can be printed on a page. You can set the form length in inches, millimeters (mm), or as a function of the current lpi (lines per inch). Form Width The form width can be specified in inches, millimeters, or as a function of the current cpi (characters per inch).
Page 68: Ztp Settings
Chapter ZTP SETTINGS Ribbon End Point This parameter adjusts the point at which the system will declare the ribbon as being expended. The life count will always be from 100% to 0%, but if a darker setting is selected 0% will be reached more quickly. If a lighter setting is selected, the system will extend the time it takes to reach 0%.
Page 69: Config. Control
NOTE: When a new value is selected, the printer will lose the current print position. You must reset the top of form to automatically save the new value. ZTP Data Time This option sets the pause time in the data stream that the ZTP requires before moving the form to the tear bar once a print job is completed.

Chapter IGP/VGL Emulation Data Bit 8 • Enable (default). The PI line is not passed directly from host to printer; all 8 bits are used for data bits, and characters in the hex 80-FF range can be accessed. • Disable. When the host PI line is enabled, Data Bit 8 internally indicates PI line status.
Page 203: Prt To Emulate
Prt To Emulate This option allows you to select an earlier model printer/IGP board combination to emulate. When a printer emulation is selected, the scaling command causes the printer to generate a graphic image in the same density as the printer emulation chosen. Five types of printers can be emulated: MVP or MVP 150B, L150, P3040, P6000, and P9000.

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 250: 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 251 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. Unlatch the ribbon and ribbon spool and carefully lift them off the hubs. NOTE: If there are ink stained fingerprints on the ribbon barcode (located on the ribbon spool), wipe it clean with a soft cloth or towelette moistened with alcohol.
Page 252: Diagnosing Problems
Chapter Diagnosing Problems Diagnosing Problems This section is designed to help you fix problems which may arise with normal printer operation. Bar Code Verification The most important consideration when printing a bar code is to ensure that the bar code will be scanned properly. Incorporating a bar code quality procedure in the printing process is the best way to ensure that bar codes are being printed correctly.

Appendix C Operation Position The Paper Out Sensor At least 2 inches Sensor Knob Paper Out Sensor Paper Figure 34. The Paper Out Sensor The paper out sensor indicates when the printer runs out of paper. (The sensor does not work with black backed forms.) Unlike the standard pedestal printer, the ZT printer requires you to load the paper through the paper out sensor slot (Figure 31 and Figure 34).

Set The Top Of Form Control Panel Menus The ZTP SETTINGS menu includes the ability to enable and disable features unique to the Zero Tear printer (ZTP), set the tear bar distance, set the auto present data time, and set the auto present wait time. This section defines these options.
Page 302: Performance Limitations
Appendix C Performance Limitations Performance Limitations Forms Type The paper feed tractors on the ZT printer push the paper up through the print station instead of pulling it through, as in the standard pedestal printer. This limits the variety of forms the ZT printer can use. If the forms do not fall within the range specified in Table 16, dot compression and line separation may occur.
