18 Status Monitor (PTStatus)
B. PRINT HEAD LIFE GAUGE
Print Head life remaining is displayed in the status monitor. Hover
your mouse over the icon to display more information.
Print Head Life is calculated by tracking the number of cartridges
used in the print head. A print head is considered to be at zero life
remaining after 26 black or 32 combined color cartridges. Print
heads may still be used after there is zero life remaining. However,
it could fail at any moment. Therefore, it is recommended that users
purchase a back up print head at approximately 10% life remaining.
Note: If the print head life indicator is not displayed click the refresh button next
to the Magenta ink display.
C. USING THE COST ESTIMATOR
The cost estimator is found on the last tab of the Status Monitor. The
Status Monitor automatically opens as soon as you begin printing.
However, you can also access it at any time as long as the printer is
turned on and communicating by going to Start - Programs -
Primera Technology - PTStatus.
