Using the background monitoring icon
A printer-shaped background monitoring icon appears on the
taskbar whenever the Status Monitor is active.
Double-clicking the background monitoring icon opens the
EPSON Status Monitor 2 window. Right-clicking this icon
opens a pop-up menu where you can choose whether the
Status Alert dialog box will appear in front of other windows
on the desktop. This pop-up menu also allows you to
deactivate Status Monitor. When you deactivate Status
Monitor, the background monitoring icon disappears from
the taskbar. To activate Status Monitor again, see step 1 of
“Turning on background monitoring” on page 5-10.
Using the Paper Memory Utility
This utility allows you to register up to eight types of paper
with specific printing parameters so your computer and printer
can easily determine how to handle individual print jobs. This
should give you better print quality and you can see what type
of paper is currently loaded in the printer (through the Status
Monitor) even if you are far away from the printer.
Note:
q
The paper memory utility was installed automatically when you
installed the EPSON Status Monitor 2.
q
You cannot register multi-part forms that overlap or forms with
labels on them using the paper memory utility. If you want to
register these items, see “Using the Paper Memory Feature” in
Chapter 4.
