Status Monitor
The EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility comes with the printer
but is available only for use with Windows 95, 98, 2000, or
NT 4.0. It allows you to monitor your printer’s status, alerts
you when printer errors occur, and provides troubleshooting
instructions.
Selecting a Paper Source

four paper sources: paper guide, tractor, optional cut-sheet
feeder, or optional roll paper holder. The paper source you
should select depends on the type of paper you want to use.
The following table shows which paper source to use for each
paper type.
