Note:

You can also turn on background printing while you’re using your printer software; see Setting Up Background Printing Options for instructions.

Using Monitor3

The Monitor3 utility lets you continue to work on your Macintosh while your document is printing (however, background printing is slower and may also slow down your system). You can then open the Monitor3 dialog box to check on your print jobs and cancel, pause, or restart them.

To use this utility, you need to turn on background printing and increase the memory allocation for Monitor3, as described in Setting Up Monitor3.

Setting Up Monitor3

1Open the Chooser from the Apple menu and select the SC 740 icon. Then select the port you’re using.

2Under Background Printing, click On and close the Chooser.

3To increase the memory allocation, select EPSON Monitor3 in the Extensions folder in your System folder. Then choose Get Info from the File menu and set the Memory Requirements to 2000 or 3000, depending on your system’s available RAM.
