Network Printer Status Utility
Windows
•
Available on TCP/IP network connection only.
The Network Printer Status utility is available if your
administrator has installed it.
If the utility is installed, the printer driver
Properties
dialog
box changes.
•
a new
Status
tab is added.
•
an
Option
button is added to the
Device Option
tab.
This utility allows you to view (but not change) the status of
the following on the
Status
tab:
•
paper trays installed and the media assigned to them.
•
total size and percentage used of disk/memory.
•
percentage of toner remaining.
General Information
This utility creates an additional tab (STATUS) in the PostScript
and PCL drivers that allows the client to monitor the selected
printer’s status.
Load this program from the Menu Installer located on CD1.
Important!
If you select
Automatic Status Update
in the
Status
tab, the driver automatically pings the printer for the
latest status information every time you open the
Properties
dialog box.
This causes a significant delay until the Properties dialog
box opens.
To avoid this, use the
Update Status
button in the
Status
tab to manually update the information on
demand.
