Using EPSON Status Monitor 3
EPSON Status Monitor 3 is available for Windows Vista, XP, Me,
98, 2000, and Windows NT 4.0. It allows you to monitor your
printer’s status, alerts you when printer errors occur, and
provides troubleshooting instructions when needed.
EPSON Status Monitor 3 is available when:
❏ The printer is connected directly to the host computer via the
parallel port [LPT1] or the USB port.
❏ Your system is configured to support bidirectional
communication.
EPSON Status Monitor 3 is installed when the printer is connected
directly and you install the printer driver as described in the Start
Here. When sharing the printer, be sure to set EPSON Status
Monitor 3 so that the shared printer can be monitored on the
printer server. See “Setting up EPSON Status Monitor 3” on page
18 and “Sharing the printer” on page 22.
