Star Language and Status Monitor Overview

The Star Language and Status Monitor components have been included in the distribution of these drivers to provide a complete printing solution, including the ability to track the printer’s status. Through the use of the Star Language and Status Monitor components, you can:

•Track the printer’s status in real-time via the Windows Printers Folder.

•Create custom applications that link with the Star Status Monitor component to allow for the real- time display of the printer’s status within your application’s user interface.

•Configure the Star Language and Status Monitor components to surpress the warning messages that Windows usually posts to the user following a failed print attempt (this is valuable, for example, in a kiosk environment, where the user would be unable to effectively respond to such an error).

To install this StatusMonitor, execute the "SETUP.exe" located in the folder ".\Distribution\StatusMonitor". The installation wizard is started.

Please advance the operation according to the screen.

This StatusMonitor installer creates the Star Micronics \ SMJ StatusMonitor folder in the Windows Start Menu \ Programs path. Find this by clicking the Start Button, entering the Programs menu, then the StarMicronics menu, and finally SMJ StatusMonitor.
