Using the background monitoring icon
A printer-shaped background monitoring icon appears on the
taskbar on your computer screen when the Status Monitor is
active. (To activate the Status Monitor, see step 1 of “Turning on
background monitoring” on page 5-10.)
Double-clicking the background monitoring icon opens the
EPSON Status Monitor 2 window. Right-clicking this icon opens
a pop-up menu where you can choose whether the Status Alert
dialog box will appear in front of other windows on the desktop.
This pop-up menu also allows you to deactivate the Status
Monitor. When you deactivate the Status Monitor, the
background monitoring icon disappears from the taskbar.
