Remove The Shipping Restraints From The Power Paper Stacker (If Equipped)
This section applies only to printers with the power stacker installed. NOTE: The P7000HD does not support the power paper stacker. Special packaging protects the power stacker mechanisms from damage during shipment. This section describes how to remove the shipping restraints before you operate the printer. Save the packaging materials. You will need to reinstall them if you decide to move or ship the printer. To reinstall the packaging materials, reverse the steps in this section.
IMPORTANT
To avoid shipping damage, install the shipping restraints whenever you move or ship the printer.

Spool
Right Hub
Figure 18. Loading the Ribbon 4. Place the empty spool on the right hub. Be sure the ribbon feeds off the outside of the spool. 5. Press the spool down until it snaps into place.
IMPORTANT
The empty spool has a barcode label on the bottom side and a date code label on the top. Once the sensor automatically reads and logs the ribbon barcode, the Integrated Print Management System starts to track ribbon usage. If you remove the ribbon during the course of its life and want to re-install the same ribbon, be sure to place the same spools on the correct hubs. Do not reverse the spools. Be sure to re-install the spool with the date code label on the top onto the right hand hub.

Turn the platen stop knob clockwise or counterclockwise to match the paper thickness. (The A-B-C scale corresponds approximately to 1-, 3-, and 6-part paper thickness). NOTE: The platen stop allows you to set an optimum and consistent thickness that is not affected when opening and closing the platen lever. 16. Lower the platen lever until it stops. 17. If necessary, press ON LINE/CLEAR to remove the LOAD PAPER fault message from the display. 33
18. Press the PAPER ADVANCE key several times to make sure the paper feeds properly beyond the tractors over the lower paper guide. Feed sufficient paper to ensure the paper stacks correctly. 19. Close the printer cover. 20. Close the cabinet door. 21. Press ON LINE/CLEAR to place the printer online and resume printing. NOTE: For cabinet models with the power paper stacker installed, go to Power Paper Stacker Option on page 39. For all other cabinet models, go to Set The Top-Of-Form on page 35. For paper exiting options on the pedestal model, see Figure 43 on page 52.

Turn the vertical position knob to align the top of the first print line with the TOF indicator. For best print quality, it is recommended that the top-of-form be set at least one print line or more below the perforation. NOTE: For exact positioning, press the VIEW/EJECT key to move the last data printed to the tractor area for viewing. While in View mode Printer in View displays. Press the Up or Down Arrow keys to move the paper vertically in small increments. Pressing the VIEW/EJECT key a second time moves the paper back to the adjusted print position. The key works both online and offline provided that the printer is in View mode. (This procedure is applicable for both the cabinet and pedestal models.)

Printer Self-Test
When printing stops at 0%, and if immediately changing the ribbon is not convenient, you can place the printer back online and printing will resume for a short period.
Printer Self-Test
Each time you power on the printer, it executes a self-test. The default power-up state is online. When the self-test completes and the software has initialized successfully, the status indicator light turns on, indicating that the printer is online. The ribbon life remaining appears in the display.

Save Config.
Host Interface
The Host Interface menu enables you to select and configure interfaces between the printer and your host computer.
Device ID
This parameter defines the printer emulation as IPDS, 4234-2 or 5225. After the emulation has been changed, a POR status is sent to the host. IPDS is the default.
Ethernet Address
IP Address. A numeric address such as 123.45.61.23 which identifies a printer or server in a LAN or WAN. Subnet Mask. A binary value used to divide IP networks into smaller subnetworks or subnets. This mask is used to help determine whether IP packets need to be forwarded to other subnets. Gateway Address. A gateway address is the IP address of a hardware device (gateway) that translates data between two incompatible networks, which can include protocol translation.
58
MAC Address. This menu item is the Manufacturers Assigned Number, and is unique for each printer. It is read-only. DHCP. You can enable/disable the DHCP protocol using this option, but consult your administrator for the appropriate setting.
Load Config.
The printer can store numerous configurations in memory. This parameter allows you to select and load a specific configuration.
Save Config
This option allows you to save up to eight configurations to meet different print job requirements. This eliminates the need to change the parameter settings for each new job. The configurations are stored in memory and will not be lost if you turn off the printer. If the Protect Configs. parameter is enabled, the new configuration will not be saved unless the existing configuration has been deleted first. The factory default configuration cannot be changed.
Power Up Config
This option allows you to specify which of the nine configurations (Factory or 1-8) will be the power-up configuration. 59
