B. 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.
Ink cost is automatically and continuously calculated based
on the black and color cartridge costs entered. Only the last
printed label cost is displayed. For reference, the print file and
date of last print is displayed at the top of the window.
•
Adjust the cartridge costs according to the actual price paid
for them. The estimate does not take currency into account
so you can assume that whatever value you entered is
displayed in your currency.
• Save a screen capture of the cost by clicking the disk icon.
• Print a screen capture of the cost by clicking the printer
icon.
Important Note: The cost per label represents the average cost per label
over an entire run of labels. This means that the per label cost will
decrease and become more accurate as the number of labels printed
increases. This is because the ink that is used for beginning and
periodic cartridge maintenance is divided into a larger number
of labels.
