Understanding Your Printer
Software
Use the Drivers and Utilities CD that shipped with your printer to install a
combination of software programs, depending on your operating system.
Printer Status Window
The Printer Status window alerts you when there is a warning or when an error
occurs, for example, when a paper jam occurs or toner is running low.
By default, the Printer Status window launches only when an error occurs.
When an error occurs, the error message appears on the Printer Status window.
You can set the Printer Status window to always launch when printing in
Printing Status Window Properties.
You can also check toner level, quantity of paper remaining or the configuration
of options for the local printer.
Status Monitor Console

Window for a particular printer.
Select a printer from the list view (or Printer Selection) by clicking its name to
open a Status Window for a particular printer.
