Monitoring Your Printer in
Windows
EPSON Status Monitor 3, which installs automatically with the printer driver, lets
you monitor a network printer from any workstation running Windows 95, 98,
NT 4.0, Me, 2000, or XP. It shows ink levels for the printer and notifies you if the
printer has any problems. It creates some network traffic, however, so you may want
to limit the number of users who can monitor the printer. (See “Disabling
Background Monitoring” on page 35 for more information.)
If you have a Macintosh, you can monitor information about a locally
attached printer. See your
Printer Basics book for details.
When you start EPSON Status Monitor 3, you see this dialog box:
If an ink cartridge is empty or runs low, a
How to
button appears on the window. You
can click it to display cartridge replacement instructions and to move the print head
to the cartridge replacement position.
