The result is more uptime, more mission critical dependability and lower service and operating costs. 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.
P7000 FAMILY INTRODUCES Enhanced reliability -- provides more up time and lower operating costs Ultra capacity ribbons -- delivers darker image, lasts longer, and costs less Integrated print management system -- provides precise control over print quality, print costs, and job planning Redesigned pedestal -- improves user access and forms handling flexibility Increased ease of use -- simplifies operation and enhances productivity ULTRA CAPACITY RIBBONS -- Patent Pending Leadership by design also extends to our consumables. 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 has made significant investments in the design and testing of new fabrics, ink formulations, and ribbon construction. The highlight of these investments is a breakthrough ribbon that is at the heart of the P7000family. Suitable for both text and bar code applications, the 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 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.

IMPROVED PEDESTAL DESIGN The pedestal model has been completely redesigned for the P7000 Series. The clamshell design allows easy access to all controls, providing faster ribbon replacements and easier paper loading. Interior room has been expanded to accommodate theP7000 Ultra Capacity ribbons, creating a 3X increase in ribbon capacity over previous pedestal models. Standard oversized casters make movement easier than ever. Versatility has also been enhanced with the ability for the paper path to be configured for either top or rear exit. Using the top paper exit along with newly refined eject key functionality this printer is ideal for short print runs and easy access to output. ENCLOSED CABINET The enclosed cabinet models provide for near silent operation, making these printers perfectly suitable for use in the quietest of office environments. In addition, these models provide the best paper handling for large print runs. All input paper is sealed inside and protected from bumping and contamination. Even more importantly, an elegantly simple, but highly effective combination of moveable fences and chains allows for neat stacking all the way up to a full box of paper. For tougher forms that tend not to refold well, a SureStak power stacker option is available for the enclosed cabinet models. With this option, even the toughest forms can be printed and stacked neatly up to a full box. So, in either configuration, the enclosed cabinet models are your best choice for large unattended production 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. The platen gap adjustment system has been redesigned to separate the functions of opening/closing the platen and setting the gap. The gap is now 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. ASSET PROTECTION Today’s IT environment is changing faster than ever and it is impossible to tell what is going to be required of your IT assets in the future. This is why a new PSA®3 controller with expanded memory and capabilities was developed especially for the P7000. Just as the P5000 was able to grow with a changing IT environment for nine fast-paced years, the P7000’s new PSA3 controller provides all the base foundation and necessary room to grow with the next generation of changes. So, whether your needs evolve to new data streams or expanded wireless options, your investment will be protected with the P7000.
CONNECTIVITY AND COMPATIBILITY The P7000 provides the most connectivity and emulation options available on any impact printer. Mix and match between wired Ethernet, wireless Ethernet, parallel, serial, Coax and Twinax. Couple this flexibility with automatic port switching and you can easily connect your new line matrix printer to multiple systems. Often this is an ideal solution for environments migrating between hosts. Available emulations include P-Series, PGL, VGL (Code-V), DEC LG, PCL 2, ANSI, IPDS, CT, and the most common serial matrix languages. What is most important about all of these emulations and connectivity options is seamless compatibility. By design and through rigorous testing, the P7000 is able to seamlessly replace any previous Printronix line matrix printer and virtually any competing legacy impact product. FLEXIBLE AND ADAPTABLE Understanding that often a simple modification to the application is just not possible, all P7000 printers come standard with the ability to intercept and modify a datastream before printing. Any changes can be corrected or modified to create the desired output without any costly host application modification. ETHERNET WITH JOB CONTROL There is a large installed base of coax and twinax connected line printers. Traditionally, migrating away from Twinax or coax to Ethernet eliminated the costly and inflexible infrastructure, but also eliminated the valuable job control. Now, with TN3270, TN5250, or the latest IPDS, the choice between cost/flexibility and control is eliminated. Using these new options, you can migrate to Ethernet printing and still maintain all the job control these mission critical applications require.  PRINTNET ENTERPRISE Successful organizations are flexible enough to meet new requirements in a changing marketplace. PrintNet Enterprise provides this flexibility by placing total control of worldwide print operations in your IT network manager’s hands. By combining a fully integrated Ethernet adapter and Java-based remote management software, this remote printer management tool provides: Increased IT resource efficiency -- Centrally manage, organize and control Printronix printers remotely on a LAN/WAN and remotely control, configure, manage and monitor printers over the network. Reduced downtime costs -- Maximize printer uptime by instant response to printer issues from email, pager or cell phone alerts. Maximized security -- Utilize PrintNet Enterprise remote front panel emulation to change, secure and protect printer configurations by locking out unauthorized users. Complete compatibility -- Designed for upward compatibility to support and manage the entire Printronix family of future printers in a fast expanding network. These printers are fully compatible with existing Printronix line matrix, thermal bar code and fanfold printing solutions that frequently operate in the same enterprise network. P7000ZT SERIES The P7000ZT Series incorporates the industry leading features of the P7000 pedestal model printers -- clamshell design, Ultra Capacity consumables and Integrated Print Management. Unique to the P7000ZT Series is the special push tractor configuration. This system enables you to print from the very first to the very last line of a form and then tear it off with no loss of forms. This series is ideal for applications requiring precise accounting of all forms or where forms are simply too expensive to waste. Especially, when each form is torn off and used individually, the elimination of waste between sheets can yield significant savings. The smart paper system automatically ejects the paper for tear off after the page or job is printed, and then retracts it as soon as the next job is sent. Or, at any time, you can use the Eject key to present or return forms as necessary for tear off. COST SAVINGS AND RELIABILITY Often, lighter duty dot matrix printers are used for applications requiring zero form loss impact printing. However, as print volume and mission criticality increases, the economic viability of these printers rapidly diminish. In contrast, the P7000ZTSeries, using the Ultra Capacity ribbon, typically delivers a 10X consumable cost advantage over dot matrix. More importantly, the robustness of P7000ZT sixth generation line matrix technology helps avoid the highest cost of all in mission critical printing -- lost production due to downtime. This combination of high reliability and low operating cost makes these printers the ideal solution for demanding production applications. PAPER HANDLING EASE The smart paper system automatically ejects the paper for tear off after the page or job is printed, and then retracts it as soon as the next job is sent. Or, at any time, you can use the Eject key to present or return forms as necessary for tear off.
HIGH DEFINITION PRINTING WITH P7000HD SERIES The cost savings, reliability and forms flexibility offered by Printronix line matrix printers continue to make this the best technology option for many critical print applications. The P7000HD Series extends the reach of applications that can benefit from this technology even further. As existing line matrix applications are migrated to new systems or new applications are developed, the traditional method of hard coding applications for a specific printer is diminishing. Instead, programmers are leveraging more general purpose Windows based tools that take advantage of a virtually limitless array of font styles, sizes and graphics, while avoiding any printer specific coding. The P7000HD provides all the necessary print resolution and system capability to drop straight into these typical laser environments without any application modifications or special accommodations. PRINT CAPABILITIES These printers offer such high definition that items such as proportional spacing, complex fonts, logos, PDFs and super small point sizes look just as they are designed and intended at a fraction of the cost of laser. Using the P7000HD high performance Windows drivers, the application programmer designs the output to match their requirements without needing to worry about any limitations of the printer. PRINT MECHANISM The nominal print density for these printers is 180x180 dots per inch (DPI). Alternately, 120x120 and 90x180 DPI modes are available when image detail can be traded for speed. The printers incorporate special fine tip technology to produce much smaller dots than the standard P7000. All of this is driven by the P7000’s PSA3 controller, which provides the necessary power to drive these complex graphics at full speed. The result is the sharpest highest quality image ever produced by Printronix.  ULTRA CAPACITY HD RIBBONS A special High Definition formulation of Ultra Capacity ribbon was developed for the P7000HD Series to handle the unique challenges of high detail fine point printing. Like the standard Ultra Capacity ribbon, this new formulation delivers a sharper, darker image for a greatly extended life. The result is reduced user intervention, improved print quality and the best cost per page. And, like all P7000 ribbons, they are fully supported by the Integrated Print Management system. High definition shuttle design Sharp image quality.
P7000 LINE MATRIX PRINTERSP7000 OPTIONS A wide variety of paper handling options are available for theP7000 to help maximize performance in all applications.    Front Tray -- For applications that demand mobility, a front paper shelf allows the source paper to move with the printer.  Also, raising the paper off the floor helps protect the media from damage. This shelf is strong enough and low enough to support a full box of paper. Low Rear Tray -- This output tray is ideal for large print runs. An adjustable back bar keeps the paper aligned and neat even when stacking large quantities. High Rear Tray -- This tray is ideal for applications where the printer is placed up against a wall and output stacks are limited to short runs. Since the tray is located near the top of the printer, access from the front is easy. Front Paper Access -- This innovative option allows you to load paper and retrieve output from the front of the printer. This dramatically reduces the space required by the printer, since the rear can now be pushed into a corner or up against the wall (a minimum clearance of 4" must remain for the top cover to open). The adjustable front shelf allows you to select the correct balance between size of source stack and size of stack that can be retrieved from the rear.  SureStak Power Stacker -- Some forms that do to not refold well or tend to fluff up during printing may not stack properly with the passive stacking aids found in the standard quiet cabinet models. For these applications, a SureStak power stacker option is available. This device actually pulls the printed paper over the top of the print path and pushes it down into the stacking area. There, a series of paddle wheels actually refold the forms tightly, so even the toughest forms can be printed and stacked neatly up to a full box.  Acoustic Shroud -- This assembly mutes the sound emanating from the paper exit slot to quiet the printer by a significant4 dBA. This is an ideal solution for any pedestal printer operating near people trying to work. The shroud features a self-guiding paper path and easy tilt away design for ready access to the media.  Extended Forms Support -- Quiet cabinet models cannot be quiet if forms are too large to allow the doors to shut. To solve this problem, the P7000 can be equipped with optional extended doors. Kits are available with one or two extended doors to fit your application. A single extended door will support forms up to 14" in length.  Two doors will allow up to 17" long forms to fit inside with all door closed.
