Using EPSON Status Monitor 3
EPSON Status Monitor 3 allows you to monitor your printer’s
status, alerts you when printer errors occur, and provides
troubleshooting instructions when needed. It is available when:
❏ The printer is connected directly to the host computer via
the parallel port [LPT1] or the USB port, and
❏ Your system is configured to support bidirectional
communication.
Status Monitor 3 is installed when you install the printer driver
(as described in the User’s Guide). When sharing the printer, be
sure to set Status Monitor 3 so that the shared printer can be
monitored on the printer server. See “Setting up EPSON Status
Monitor 3” on page 43 and “Setting up the printer server” on
page 47.
Note:
When connecting to a shared printer beyond a router, error and
warning notifications for the shared printer during printing are not
available in some cases because of the router's settings.
Before using EPSON Status Monitor 3, be sure to read the README
file on the CD-ROM. This file contains the latest information on the
utility.
