7.4 Checking the Printer Status via 
SimpleMonitor
SimpleMonitor is a tool that allows you to check the status of print jobs when your printer is 
local or when it is connected to an LPD port. 
This tool runs on Windows operating systems and can be installed from the CD-ROM of the 
Driver CD Kit included with the printer. 
Note
• For information on how to install SimpleMonitor, refer to the ‘CD-ROM Documentation (HTML)’ on the 
CD-ROM of the Driver CD Kit.
SimpleMonitor can perform the following:
• If an error occurs while processing a print job, SimpleMonitor displays a window on your 
computer informing you of the error. 
• SimpleMonitor displays the following window that shows the sizes and the amount of 
paper loaded in the paper trays, the status of the output tray, and the remaining life of the 
toner cartridges and drum cartridge (only when your printer is a local printer).
Note
• If your printer is networked, you can check its status by accessing CentreWare Internet Services from 
SimpleMonitor.
