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 42 and “Setting up the printer server” on page 45.
