Managing Print Jobs

You can customize the appearance of items on the Status Monitor 2 main window using the View menu options or options on the button bar.

If you’re monitoring multiple printers, you can reorder them in the Installed Printers list by clicking in the Printer Name, Status, or Job Count title bar.

If you have more than one printer you want to monitor, you can add them using the Add Printer option in the Settings menu. To save system resources, you may want to delete any printers from the Status Monitor 2 list that you don’t need to monitor. To do this, click the printer in the Installed Printers list and select Delete Printer from the Settings menu.
