Enhanced Reliability

• Improvements such as pressed on hubs and new controller with better protection circuitry
• Estimated 20% reduction in service interventions
  
  

• Lower service costs
• More uptime

Ribbon Formulation

• Unique (patent pending) combination of inks, dyes, fabric, and construction
• 20% darker than traditional ribbons
  More life with less cost
• One ribbon for nearly all applications – bar codes, text, IR OCR
  
  

• Reduces number of ribbon types to be stocked
• Increased cost savings with lower cost per page

Increased Ribbon Capacity

• 300% increase for pedestals
• 160% to 300% increase for cabinets
  
  

• Longer print runs and increased productivity
• Reduce user interventions and labor

New Ribbon Hub

• Ribbon hubs are self aligning and locking/unlocking
• Eliminates difficult to release tang to get the ribbon off
  
  

• Faster and easier consumable changes
• Less operator training
• Higher reliability due to reduced hub breakage
  
  

Color Coded Controls

• All user touch points are blue for fast identification
  
  

• Speeds training for operators

Integrated Print Management

• Requires no special user handling or extra steps
• Provides precise automatic indication of remaining ribbon life
• Ribbon log allows tracking of how many of each type of consumable used
• Has adjustable end point darkness
  
  

• Eliminates cost of changing ribbons too often, poor output quality from ribbons not changed enough, and time wasted from constantly monitoring quality
• Enables remote visibility of ribbon status and consumption
• Precise supply life indication enables user to know if there is enough ribbon life before starting large jobs

Large Pedestal Ribbons

• Pedestal now accepts even bigger ribbons than previous cabinet models
• Common consumable between cabinet and pedestal models
  
  

• 3X fewer user interventions and printing interruptions
• More productivity
• Less inventory

Pedestal clam shell design

• Opening cover exposes all internal controls and media loading features

• Faster ribbon and media changes
• Less operator training
• Easier forms alignment
  
  

Improved Pedestal Paper Path

• Gently rounded paper path closely follows cabinet geometry
• No slot to thread paper through
• Pedestal paper feed speed now exact same as cabinet models
  
  

• Increased throughput
• Expands maximum form width up to 17 inches

Top / Rear Paper Access

• Pedestal can be configured for top or rear paper access
• Eliminates previous Quick Access option
• Improved tear bar when in top access mode
  
  

• Lower cost – no options to buy
• More flexibility to adapt to changing requirements
• Faster and cleaner tear off for individual sheets or short runs

Large Pedestal Wheels

• Three inch diameter heavy duty swivel casters

• Increased mobility
• Safer movement around office or across factory floors
  
  

Pedestal Control Panel

• Full travel keys
• Matches cabinet design exactly

• Increased reliability
• Easier key press and operation
• Lower training costs
  
  

Improved Controller

• Increased memory
• Faster processor
• Improved overload protection
  
  

• Enables P7000 to grow with your IT environment
• Increased reliability

Enhanced I/O Flexibility

• Two available I/O slots

• Allows versatile configurability for connecting to multiple systems
• Provides expandability for future connection types
• Asset protection
  
  

SPX Feature Code Programmer

• Allows printer’s security level to be modified by the end user
• No tools or opening of product required
  
  

• Asset protection
• Allows rapid reconfiguration for changing requirements
• Lowers upgrade costs

Streamline Menus

• Quick setup menu groups all most common configuration items
• Rarely required advanced settings grouped separately to reduce clutter
  
  

• Quicker and more reliable printer setup
• Reduced training and increased ease of use
• Reduced downtime due to incorrect configurations

Auto Configuration Saves

• Prompts user to save configuration after any changes are made
• Stores and insures settings will be restored after any power interruptions
• Still enables manual saving and complex configurations by sophisticated users
  
  

• Lowers training – user doesn’t need to know printer’s configuration and organization structure to successful save and restore configurations
• Increase uptime by reducing incidental loss of configuration settings

Unicode Support

• UTF-8 encoding of character sets

• Allows one configuration to span global requirements
• Improved SAP compatibility
  
  

Smart Eject and Paper Advance Key Functions

• Keys made to act instantly
• No longer requires printer to be off line
• Form Feed always moves the correct distance for the form
• Eject moves the correct distances to support tear off and minimize form waste
  
  

• Faster operation due to fewer keystrokes and smarter action
• Reduced operator training
• Eliminates form misalignments due to often undesirable paper movements on P5000

Platen Open / Adjustment System

• Separates opening and closing of platen from precise forms thickness setting
• Fixed dial locks in repeatable form’s thickness setting
  
  

• Lower training and increased ease of use
• Reduces chance of print quality problems or jams due to incorrect form thickness setting
