Monitoring Your Printer using EPSON Status Monitor
Accessing EPSON Status Monitor
For Mac OS X users
Note:
After installing the EPSON Status Monitor and before doing the procedure below, you need to open
the Print dialog box so the EPSON Status Monitor can display the current status of the printer.
1. Open the Applications folder on your hard disk drive, then open the Utilities folder.
2. Double-click the Printer Setup Utility (for Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4) or Print Center
(for Mac OS X 10.2 or below) icon.
3. Click the Utility (for Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4) or Configure (for Mac OS X 10.2 or
below) icon in the Printer List dialog box.
Note:
You can also access EPSON Status Monitor by clicking the EPSON Status Monitor icon in the
Dock.
For Mac OS 9 users
You can access EPSON Status Monitor by selecting the EPSON Status Monitor alias from
the Apple menu.
Note:
❏ The appropriate printer port must already be selected in the Chooser so that necessary
information can be received from the selected printer driver when the EPSON Status Monitor
starts. If the printer port is not correct, an error will occur.
❏ If you change the printer driver in the Chooser while the spool file is printing in the background,
output to the printer may be disrupted.
❏ Printer and consumable products status information appears in the status window only if the
Chooser is acquiring status normally.
