Using the Printer
To use the printer, you must print from the graphics tablet computer in the classroom. This is to ensure usage gets billed correctly.
Cost is automatically calculated based on square area + ink consumption by the printer driver; The total is charged to the user's Protocoin Balance.
The larger the area, or the more saturated the picture, the higher the price.
- 40x40" mostly-solid-black print costs approximately $12.
- more average photographic colour density is about $6.
- text with about 5% ink coverage is about $3.
Networking
Network access is restricted to the graphics computer (172.17.18.46) via the printer's own firewall settings (Setup > Networking > IPsec/Firewall).
HTTPS (only HTTPS) "failsafe" option is enabled so we don't lock ourselves out.
Servicing
Loading Ink
The T1200 uses six HP 72 ink cartridges. We have found that brand name ink cartridges aren't worth the difference in cost of funds. Ink is changed by selecting the menu button from the front panel and selecting Ink > Replace Ink Cartridge. Follow the on screen steps. Ink Cartridges are located under the smoky color and gray bulbous panel on the left side of the printer. [NOTE: Please ensure that the cartridges are actually empty before swapping them out. The printer will sometimes say they have 'expired' due to an incorrectly set clock when they are still fine.]
Ink Head Information
The T1200 uses three HP 72 ink heads. Each head prints two colors. As of the time of writing (Dec. 2022) the T1200 has three remanufactured print heads that are of dubious quality. Highly recommended to replace the print heads with new name brand ones when replacement is required. New HP print heads are approximately $115/ea.
Buying Paper
The T1200 takes 2" core x 44" paper. Since paper is a Protospace-supplied consumable, you are welcome to replenish rolls and get reimbursed.
Here are some examples of what we've bought in the past:
