When you start a print job, ZPrint checks the printer to ensure there are enough materials to complete
the job and that the printer is properly prepared before starting the job. If the printer does not have
enough powder, binder, or print head life to complete the job, a message appears in the
Printer Status
dialog telling you what you need to do to prepare the printer before printing.
Important:
Do not add powder or binder to the printer, or change a print head, unless you see a mes-
sage telling you to in the
Printer Status
dialog.

5.1 The Printer Status Dialog
The
Printer Status
dialog keeps you appraised of everything your ZPrinter 650 needs to start your print
job. The two examples below show what appears when the printer is ready to print, and when it’s not
ready.
