You can access many Status Monitor menu commands directly by clicking the buttons on the toolbar. When you point to a toolbar button, the corresponding menu command appears briefly on your screen, and you see an explanation of the button’s function appears in the status bar at the bottom of the EPSON Status Monitor 2 window.

Installed Printers list

This list displays information about the EPSON printers connected directly to your computer. If you select List from the View menu, the list displays only the printer names and icons. If you select Details, the list displays the information below.

Printer name

When you install the Status Monitor, it automatically adds to this list the names and icons of the EPSON printers connected to your computer. To add or delete a printer from the list, select Add Printer or Delete Printer from the Settings menu. To save computer memory, delete any printers you do not need to monitor. (Doing so does not remove the printer driver from your computer.)

The appearance of the icon next to each printer name changes depending on the printer’s status, as described in the table below. See online help for more information.
