EPSON Status Monitor 3
EPSON Status Monitor 3 provides status messages and a graphic
display showing the current status of the printer.
If a problem occurs while printing, an error message appears in
the Progress Meter window.
Printing a Self Test
Running the printer’s self test helps you determine whether the
printer or the computer is causing the problem:
❏ If the self test results are satisfactory, the printer is working
properly and the problem probably results from your printer
driver settings, application settings, computer, or interface
cable. (Be sure to use a shielded interface cable.)
❏ If the self test does not print properly, there is a problem with
the printer. See “Problems and Solutions” on page 113 for
possible causes and solutions to the problem.
Follow these steps to perform a self test:
1. Make sure that the printer is turned off and that the paper is
set on the front or rear tractor.
c
Caution:
Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least five seconds
before turning it back on; otherwise you may damage the
printer.
