Accessing EPSON Status Monitor 3
EPSON Status Monitor 3 allows you to monitor your printer’s status, alerts you when printer errors occur, and provides
troubleshooting instructions when needed.
EPSON Status Monitor 3 is available when:
The printer is connected directly to the host computer via the parallel port [LPT1] or the USB port.
Your system is configured to support bidirectional communication.
EPSON Status Monitor 3 is installed when the printer is connected directly and you install the printer driver as described in the
Start Here or the Setup Guide . When sharing the printer, be sure to set EPSON Status Monitor 3 so that the shared printer
can be monitored on the printer server and clients. See Setting up EPSON Status Monitor 3 and Setting Up Your Printer on a
Network .
Caution:
Although you can print to the printer directly connected to the computer in a remote location by using
Remote Desktop function* of Windows 7, Vista, or XP, communication error may occur.
* Remote Desktop function: Function which enables a user to access applications or files in a computer
connected to the office network from a mobile computer at a remote location.
Note:

communication error message may be displayed when monitoring printers at the same time.
If EPSON Status Monitor 3 is installed with the Windows Firewall feature turned on (recommended), the
