Setting Up Monitoring Preferences

You can select the way you want Status Monitor 2 to monitor your printer using the Monitoring Preferences window. There are several ways to open the window:

◗Click the printer name in the Installed Printers list to

highlight it and click the icon or select Monitoring Preferences from the Settings menu.

◗Right-click the printer name in the Installed Printers list and select Monitoring Preferences from the drop-down menu.

You see the Monitoring Preferences window:

Set the length of the interval in which you want Status Monitor 2 to monitor your printer here (short intervals may cause some applications to run slower)

Select if and when to use the Status Alert dialog box: while printing, when errors occur, and/or when ink is low

If you turn on one or more of the Status Alert options, you’ll see the Status Alert dialog box when the selected condition occurs. For example, if you turn on Show when errors occur, the dialog box will appear only if a printing error occurs. If you select all the options, the dialog box will appear whenever you print, encounter an error, or have low ink levels.
