PRINTER UTILITIES (WINDOWS)

Printer utilities

Printer Status Monitor (for general users)

"Printer Status Monitor" is on the "Software CD-ROM" (Disc 1). 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, etc.) by means of illustrations. Available paper sizes and paper remaining are also indicated.

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.

Printer Administration Utility (for administrators)

"Printer Administration Utility" is on the "Software CD-ROM" (Disc 2).

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.

● In order to use the Printer Status Monitor and Printer

Note

Administration Utility, the machine must be connected to a network.

●To install the Printer Status Monitor, see the network expansion kit online manual (for setup).
