Using the Printer Driver

Note:

❏

The EPSON Status Monitor 3 appears automatically when an error
occurs.

❏

The appropriate printer port must already be selected in the Chooser
so that necessary information can be received from the selected
printer driver when the EPSON Status Monitor 3 starts. If the
printer port is not correct, an error will occur.

❏

If you change the printer driver in the Chooser while the spool file
is printing in the background, output to the printer may be
disrupted.

❏

Printer and consumable products status information appears in the
status window only if the Chooser is acquiring status normally.

Getting printer status details

You can monitor printer status and obtain information on
consumable products using the EPSON Status Monitor 3 dialog
box.
