PRINTER UTILITIES (WINDOWS)

Printer utilities

The "Software" CD-ROM contains the following two printer utilities.

Printer Status Monitor (for general users)

This allows the user to check on the computer screen whether or not the machine is able to print.

It provides information on error states such as paper misfeeds and shows the configuration of the machine (number of trays, whether or not there is a finisher, etc.) by means of illustrations. Available paper sizes and paper remaining are also indicated.

Printer Administration Utility (for administrators)

This allows the administrator to check information on supplies and error states of the machine and other SHARP printers (compatible with the Printer Administration Utility) that are connected to the network. Settings can also be changed via the utility.

● In order to use the Printer Status Monitor and Printer

Note

Administration Utility, the machine must be connected to a network.

●To install the Printer Status Monitor and Printer Administration Utility, see software setup guide for network printer.

●To use the Printer Administration Utility in Windows 95, a system file must be updated. See the detailed information in the select packages window of the installer (see the software setup guide for network printer).

Before using the Printer Status Monitor

Note the following points before using the Printer Status Monitor.

Printing via a server
