Chapter 2: Monitoring and Configuring the Printer

The EPSON Stylus Pro 9000 series printers include a number of monitoring utilities. The control panel displays status messages and error messages, and the lights alert you when a problem occurs or your ink runs out.

In addition, the control panel includes a series of SelecType™ menus that you can use to configure the printer’s default settings and perform maintenance operations. This chapter tells you how to respond to the lights and messages and how to configure the printer using the control panel. The following information is included:
