Printronix laser printers - Manual (Page 7)

RUGGED, COST EFFECTIVE
AND VERSATILE
The P7000 offers unsurpassed reliability. When your
application cannot be interrupted, look to the P7000 for
maximum productivity. For cost control, this technology
provides the edge needed, giving you the lowest cost per
page output. It handles specialized forms that work
for your application – forms that can only be printed
on a line matrix printer – information reports, multi-
part transaction documents and bar code labels.
ENHANCED RELIABILITY
No other print technology delivers more trouble free
high volume printing than a Printronix line matrix printer.
Every generation of our printers has delivered higher
quality and more reliability than its predecessor.
Now the P7000 family, with a wide range of design
enhancements, carries the tradition forward delivering
the most reliable Printronix printer ever. The result is
more uptime, more mission critical dependability and
lower service and operating costs.
ULTRA CAPACITY RIBBONS
Leadership by design also extends to our ribbons.
Customers turn to line matrix to get the lowest cost printing
of any technology. Typically 10 times less expensive
than laser or serial matrix, Printronix line matrix delivers
significant cost savings in all high volume applications.
To extend this benefit even further, Printronix makes
significant investments in the design and testing of new
fabrics, ink formulations, and ribbon construction. The
highlight of these investments is a totally new ribbon
that is at the heart of the P7000 family. Suitable for
both text and bar code applications, the new P7000
Ultra Capacity ribbon starts 20% darker and lasts 3X
longer than our most popular 30 million character
ribbons. With a 90 million character rated life, the number
of user interventions are dramatically reduced. In addition
to the labor savings from reduced consumable handling,
the efficiency of this new design results in an even lower
cost per page.
INTEGRATED PRINT
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
This system is designed to constantly monitor print
quality - eliminating waste, maximizing ribbon life
and reducing printing costs. Printronix has built in
the intelligence and auto-sensing capabilities that
provide visibility and control without any user set-up.
This allows the system administrator to have precise
control over print quality, consumable costs, and job
planning. Add in PrintNet Enterprise and the visibility
and control, along with instant e-mail alerts, comes
right to your desktop – ideal for enterprise management
of printing applications.
INCREASED EASE OF USE
In creating the next generation of line printers,
customer feedback was used to identify enhancements
that would simplify operation, enhance the user
experience and boost productivity.
• The ribbon spool and hub have been redesigned to
be fully self aligning and to snap on and off with ease
• All user adjustment and control points are blue
for fast operator identification
• The control panel is color coded, with faster
reacting keys
• A Quick Setup menu simplifies and groups the
most common setup parameters into one easily
modified section
• Automatic configuration saving prevents settings
from accidentally being lost or reset
• A new platen gap adjustment system separates
the functions of opening/closing the platen and
setting the gap. Now, the gap is set by a knob to
match the form’s characteristics, and once set,
the platen can be opened and closed without
affecting the gap setting, simplifying the loading
of ribbons and forms
