How I print a configuration page for a KIP 7100

Sometimes I or my customer may want to print out the KIP 7100 configuration print. The configuration print will provide the user with a hard copy containing a wealth of information about the machine which you can store away in case of a hardware failure.  In this blog I will demonstrate how I print the configuration page for the KIP 7100.  The operation is similar for all KIP products which have a touch screen like the one shown in this blog.   Proceed to step 1....



Step 1
The touch display should be displaying the KIP home screen as noted below.  If the screen is black I tap anywhere and the display should power up and return to the home screen. If I find the KIP is not on the home screen but instead on some other screen I simply tap the little house icon at the lower right of the display and return to home.   Once powered up and at the home screen the display should show the printer online button with a green circle just under the big help question mark.  From here I proceed to step 2.  




Step 2
In this step I tap the ? HELP  button under the KIP logo one time then I can then proceed to step 3.



Step 3
In this step I am able to see the screen has changed to the information screen.    In order to see all of the information about the KIP 7100 I will need to tap the SHOW VERSION button at the bottom of the screen one time.  Now I can proceed to step 4.




Step 4
Now I am able to see all of the important information regarding the configuration of the KIP 7100.  If I only wanted to see the information and did not need a hard copy I could stop here.  For this example though  I do need to print a hard copy so I tap on the PRINT THIS SCREEN button one time. You should hear the configuration sheet being printed now. After a few minutes the screen will return to the home screen.  The screen will automatically go back to the home screen so  I now proceed to my last step.  




Step 6
I remove the configuration print from the KIP 7100 print stacker and I should have a configuration print that looks similar to the one below. We will cover what all the information on the configuration print means in a future blog.


As noted in previous blogs we have only scratched the surface today regarding what you as the operator can do with your KIP 7100.   In a future blog we will also cover how to do this same operation on the HP wide format plotters.   Leave a comment if you like. If you have a problem with this operation and would like some help you can say that in the comments or you can email me from my profile. Thanks for coming by.

    1. Sorry I just saw your question. Probably best to have your uncle contact the local KIP dealer there in India. I am sure by now he must have discovered this is the best way to go.
