Managing Print Jobs

◗Additional monitoring features for Windows NT 4.0, which are discussed briefly on page 4-14.

Note:

The Status Monitor 2 icon appears on the taskbar only when background monitoring is enabled. See page 4-7 to enable background monitoring.

Using Status Monitor 2

Status Monitor 2 lets you view detailed information about your print jobs and control how you want printing monitored. To control network traffic, you may need to limit the number of systems that monitor the printer.

There are three ways to access Status Monitor 2:

◗Click Start, point to Programs, click the Epson folder, and click EPSON Status Monitor 2.

◗Double-click the icon (when background monitoring is enabled) on the taskbar in the bottom right corner of your screen.

◗Access the printer software from your application or the Printers utility (see page 1-2 and page 1-4), click the Utility tab, and click the EPSON Status Monitor 2 icon. (This method accesses the Printer Status window only; see page 4-5 for details.)

When you start Status Monitor 2, you see the main window:
