Using Status Monitor 2

Status Monitor 2 lets you view detailed information about your print jobs and control how you want printing monitored. You can check printer status when your printer is connected directly to your computer or if it is connected to a remote server in a Windows 95 network. Before using Status Monitor 2, you must enable background monitoring, as described in the next section.

Enabling Background Monitoring

You can enable background monitoring for your printer if you want Status Monitor 2 to alert you to any error conditions while you’re working on other tasks. This lets you know if paper has run out, or if any other printing problem has occurred, without having to open Status Monitor 2.

To turn on background monitoring, follow these steps:

1.Click Start, point to Programs, point to the Epson folder, and click EPSON Status Monitor 2 to open Status Monitor 2.

2.Click the name of the printer you want to monitor in the Installed Printers list. The printer name is highlighted.

3.Open the Settings menu and select Background Monitoring.

4.Select either Monitor from restart (to begin background monitoring after your next system restart) or Monitor now (to begin background monitoring right away).

Now set your monitoring preferences for the printer as described in the next section.
