it detects a printer error, it informs you with an error message.
You can also use this utility to check the amount of ink is
remaining before printing.
To use the StatusMonitor, click the EPSON StatusMonitor
button in the Utility dialog box. For details, see “Using the EPSON
StatusMonitor” on page 7-2.
Nozzle Check
Checks the print head nozzles for clogging. Use this utility if you
notice print quality has declined and also after cleaning to confirm
that the print head nozzles have been cleaned. If the nozzle check
indicates the print head needs cleaning, you can access the Head
Cleaning utility directly from the Nozzle Check utility. For
details, see “Checking the Print Head Nozzles” on page 11-2.
Head Cleaning

first to confirm that the head needs to be cleaned. For details, see
“Cleaning the Print Head” on page 11-5.
Print Head Alignment
This utility aligns the print head. Use this utility if you notice a
misalignment of vertical or horizontal lines.
