About EPSON Status Monitor 3
EPSON Status Monitor 3 is a utility program that monitors your
printer and gives you information about its current status. For
example, you can find out the amount of remaining toner or the
remaining functional life of the photoconductor unit through this
utility. If a print error occurs, the utility provides you with a
message describing the error. EPSON Status Monitor 3 is accessed
from the Apple menu. See the following section for more
information.
Accessing EPSON Status Monitor 3
EPSON Status Monitor 3 monitors the printer during printing and
while the EPSON Status Monitor 3 dialog box is open.
You can access EPSON Status Monitor 3 by selecting the EPSON
Status Monitor 3 alias from the Apple menu.
Note:
❏ The appropriate printer port must already be selected in the Chooser
so that necessary information can be received from the selected
printer driver when EPSON Status Monitor 3 starts. If the printer
port is not correct, an error will occur.
❏ If you change the printer driver in the Chooser while the spool file
is printing in the background, output to the printer may be
disrupted.
❏ Printer and consumable products status information appears in the
status window only if the Chooser is acquiring status normally.
