About the EPSON Status Monitor 2 Utility

The EPSON Status Monitor 2 utility comes with your printer but is available only for use with Windows 95 or 98. It allows you to monitor your printer’s status, alerts you when printer errors occur, and provides troubleshooting instructions when needed.

You can install the EPSON Status Monitor 2 utility when you install the printer driver, or you can install it at a different time as described on the next page.

Note:

To monitor an FX-980 printer on a network, you must install an optional Ethernet interface card (C82362✽,C82363✽ or C82364✽) in your printer and use the Status Monitor utility that comes with this card. See the manual that comes with the interface card for instructions on using the Status Monitor in a network environment.

Before using the Status Monitor, be sure to read the README file in the EPSON folder on your hard drive. This file contains the latest information on the Status Monitor.
