DOS Status Monitor
5-11
To run the DOS Status Monitor:
1. From the DOS prompt, change to the directory
that contains the DOS Status Monitor (by
default
C:\WINDOWS
if the standard installa-
tion was used):
2. To load the DOS Status Monitor into memory,
Type
N1260SM
and press e .
3. To pop up the DOS Status Monitor, press its
hot-key combination. By default, the hot-key
is
Ctrl-Alt-S
.
If you need to change the hot-key because of a
conflict with a DOS program, you can do so using
the Printer Control Panel program as described in
the section called “Change Status Monitor
Settings” above.
Note: Under some circumstances, the
DOS Status Monitor may not be able to
pop up over a DOS program if the pro-
gram is displaying a graphic screen.
Auto Loading the DOS Status
Monitor
You might want to have the DOS Status Monitor
load automatically when you start your computer.
To do this you need to add this line to your
AUTOEXEC.BAT
file:
C:windows\N1260SM.EXE
(Substitute the directory location where you
installed
N1260SM.EXE
if it is not
\WINDOWS
.)
You can add this line with a text editor like DOS
Edit.
Using the DOS Status Monitor
When you press its hot-key (by default,
b
-
a -S
), the DOS Status Monitor screen pops up.
Printer Status Information
The name of the SuperScript 1260 printer and the
printer port it is connected to are shown on the
first line of the DOS Status Monitor screen.
Information about the printer’s current status is
shown in the middle of the screen. Depending on
whether or not bidirectional communication is
enabled for your printer and the printer’s current
status, one or two lines of status information are
displayed.
