Monitoring of shared printers is set internally by EPSON Status Monitor 3. To monitor Windows shared printers, right-click the Network Neighborhood and then click Properties. Verify that file and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks is shown in the list of installed components.

Also, verify that EPSON Status Monitor 3 is installed in the computer hosting the Windows shared printer, and be sure that the Allow monitoring of shared printers check box is checked in the Monitoring Preferences dialog box.

In Windows 98/95, IPX/SPX compatible protocols cannot be set on the network module.
