Selecting a Printer to Monitor

Before you can start monitoring a TCP/IP or LPR printer with EPSON Status Monitor 2, you need to select the printer in your operating system. Follow the steps for your operating system: Windows 95, below; NT 3.51, page 1-15; and NT 4.0, page 1-16.

Note:

The printer must be equipped with an Ethernet card C82357*, and the card’s IP address must be set; otherwise the printer does not appear on the screen. For instructions on installing the card, see the printer user’s guide, and for instructions on setting the IP address for the card, see the user’s guide that came with the card.
