Checking the Printer Status
This section describes how to use the Status Monitor menus
to get general and detailed printer status information. For
detailed printer status information, see “Using the Printer
Status window” on page 5-8.
Using the EPSON Status Monitor 2 window
The main features of the EPSON Status Monitor 2 window are
described below.
Installed Printers list
This list displays information on the EPSON printers connected
directly to your computer. If you select List from the View
menu, this list diplays only the printer names and icons. If you
select Details, the list displays the Printer Name, Status, and
Job Count.
The Printer Name column displays the names and icons of
EPSON printers connected to your computer. You can add
or delete printers to be monitored by choosing Add Printer
or Delete Printer from the Settings menu. To save computer
memory, delete printers you do not need to monitor. (This
does not remove the printer driver from your computer.)
The icons that appear beside the printer names change color
to reflect changes in printer status. Green indicates a ready
status, yellow indicates the need for routine maintenance, red
indicates a printer error that makes printing impossible, and
a dimmed icon indicates a communication problem between
the Status Monitor and the printer. See online help for more
information.
