Managing Print Jobs and Network Printing
4-6
Managing Print Jobs on a
Macintosh
Your Macintosh printer software includes two utilities for
managing your print jobs:
EPSON
Monitor2 and Status
Monitor.
◗ If you’re using background printing, Monitor2 starts
automatically when you send a job to the printer. It handles
printing while you continue to work on your Macintosh
and lets you track documents that are waiting to be printed.
◗ The Status Monitor alerts you to any problems that occur
during printing. You can also use it any time to see how
much ink you have left.
Using EPSON Monitor2
The EPSON Monitor2 utility lets you continue to work on your
Macintosh while your document is printing. To use this utility,
however, you need to turn on background printing and increase
the memory allocation for Monitor2.
Follow these steps:
1. If you didn’t turn on background printing when you
selected your printer, open the Chooser from the Apple
menu. Select either the
EPSON Stylus(EX) or EPSON
Stylus(AT) icon. Under Background Printing, click On
and close the Chooser.
2. To increase the memory allocated to Monitor2, select
EPSON Monitor2 in the Extensions folder in your System
folder. Then choose
Get Info from the File menu and set
the Memory Requirements to 2000K or 3000K, depending
on your system’s available RAM.
3. To use Monitor2 while you’re printing, select the
EPSON
Monitor2
icon in the Application menu at the right end of
the menu bar.
Note:
Background printing is
slower and may also slow
down your system.
