Status Monitor
The Status Monitor is a desktop utility that displays information about
the current status of the printer and its consumables and allows you to
configure various settings. It’s available for computers running Windows
and connected to a magicolor 2450 using the Ethernet interface. Access
the Supplies Status display by choosing Supplies Status from the
utility’s Display menu. This full-color, gas gauge-style display shows the
capacity of each toner cartridge and the drum cartridge as well as the
percentage of life remaining.
Use the Status Monitor to review supplies.
