Checking Printer Status

While your document is printing, the EPSON Despooler dialog box appears in the lower right corner of your screen:

Click to pause printing.

Click to

cancel printing.

The name of the file you’re printing appears here.

Click to restart printing.

Note:

The Status Monitor appears only if you’re using Windows 95 and you’re not printing over a network.

This dialog box shows the progress of your print job and the status of your printer. If you run out of paper while printing, for example, the Despooler warns you. You can use the buttons to cancel, pause, or restart your print job.

The Status Monitor at the bottom of the dialog box shows how much ink is left in your printer, along with these status icons:
