14 Using the Status Monitor
Section 3: Using the Status Monitor
The Status Monitor is used to interact with the printer for
gathering ink levels, maintenance, alignment, cost calculation
and several other functions.
It 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 and turn on the power. The
Status Monitor 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 - Primera Technology - LX500 Status
Monitor. The Status Monitor consists of five 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).
•
Ink Tab (First Tab). Displays ink levels, and a print
counter.
• Cartridge Settings Tab (Second Tab). Aligns Print
Head, Cleans Print Head and Changes the Cartridges.
•
Alignment Tab (Third Tab). Adjusts vertical and
horizontal print alignment, Changes the Stock Sensor
Mode and toggles the Output/Cut Mode.
