PRINTER UTILITIES (WINDOWS)

Printer utilities

The "Software" CD-ROM contains the following two printer utilities.

Printer Status Monitor (for general users)

This allows the user to check on the computer screen whether or not the machine is able to print.

It provides information on error states such as paper misfeeds and shows the configuration of the machine (number of trays, whether or not there is a finisher, etc.) by means of illustrations. Available paper sizes and paper remaining are also indicated.

Printer Administration Utility (for administrators)

This allows the administrator to check information on supplies and error states of the machine and other SHARP printers (compatible with the Printer Administration Utility) that are connected to the network. Settings can also be changed via the utility.

Before using the Printer Status Monitor

Note the following points before using the Printer Status Monitor.

Printing via a server

When the first print job is executed after starting up the Printer Status Monitor, the machine's IP address is automatically set in the Printer Status Monitor.

Direct printing without a server

Install and configure the software as explained in "USING THE MACHINE AS A NETWORK PRINTER" in the software setup guide for network printer. (This is not necessary if the software has already been installed and configured.)

Note

To install the Printer Status Monitor and Printer Administration Utility, see software setup guide for network printer.
