Using the background monitoring icon

Aprinter-shaped background monitoring icon appears on the taskbar whenever the Status Monitor is active.

Double-clicking the background monitoring icon opens the EPSON Status Monitor 2 window. Right-clicking this icon opens a pop-up menu where you can choose whether the Status Alert dialog box will appear in front of other windows on the desktop. This pop-up menu also allows you to deactivate Status Monitor. When you deactivate Status Monitor, the background monitoring icon disappears from the taskbar. To activate Status Monitor again, see step 1 of “Turning on background monitoring” on page 5-10.

Using the Paper Memory Utility

This utility allows you to register up to eight types of paper with specific printing parameters so your computer and printer can easily determine how to handle individual print jobs. This should give you better print quality and you can see what type of paper is currently loaded in the printer (through the Status Monitor) even if you are far away from the printer.

Note:

TThe paper memory utility was installed automatically when you installed the EPSON Status Monitor 2.

TYou cannot register multi-part forms that overlap or forms with labels on them using the paper memory utility. If you want to register these items, see “Using the Paper Memory Feature” in Chapter 4.
