Status Monitor

The EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility comes with the printer but is available only for use with Windows 95, 98, 2000, or NT 4.0. It allows you to monitor your printer’s status, alerts you when printer errors occur, and provides troubleshooting instructions.

Selecting a Paper Source

The printer can accommodate a variety of paper types through four paper sources: paper guide, tractor, optional cut-sheet feeder, or optional roll paper holder. The paper source you should select depends on the type of paper you want to use.

The following table shows which paper source to use for each paper type.
