of aspects of printer operations. This data is
referred to as printer status.
The SuperScript 870 Status Monitor continuously
monitors this printer status information to keep
you informed of what is happening with your
printer. The detail of printer status depends on
the way the printer is connected to the computer.
• If the default printer is a SuperScript 870
printer and it is directly connected to your
computer, the printer status information is
very detailed, even pinpointing the specific
nature of most printer errors.
• If a SuperScript 870 printer is connected with
a print sharing device, less detailed but still
very useful printer status information is
available, including printer error, paper out,
busy, or ready.
• If a non-SuperScript 870 printer is connected,
no status information is available.

Monitor is set to load automatically whenever you

Monitor, you want to change the way it loads, you
