For Mac OS X users, open the Print dialog box and select Printer Settings from the drop-down list. Then click your printer’s icon on the Utility menu.

For Mac OS 9 users, select the EPSON Status Monitor 3 alias from the Apple menu, then click your printer’s icon.

EPSON Status Monitor 3 lets you check the status of your printer. See "Monitoring Your Printer using EPSON Status Monitor 3" on page 184 for more information.
