Epson 850N - Manual (Page 88)

Managing Print Jobs
4-17
◗ The Status Monitor alerts you to any problems that occur
during printing. You can also use it at any time to see how
much ink you have left.
◗ The Configuration utility lets you select how you want to
be notified of printer errors and where you want print job
files stored.
Using Monitor3
The Monitor3 utility lets you continue to work on your
Macintosh while your document is printing (however,
background printing is slower and may also slow down your
system). You can then open the Monitor3 dialog box to check
on your print jobs and cancel, pause, or restart them.
To use this utility, you need to turn on background printing
and increase the memory allocation for Monitor3, as described
in the next section.
Setting Up Monitor3
1. Open the Chooser from the Apple menu and select the
SC 850(AT) icon. Then select the port or AppleTalk zone
you’re using.
2. Under Background Printing , click On and close the
Chooser.
3. To increase the memory allocation, select EPSON
Monitor3 in the Extensions folder in your System folder.
Then choose Get Info from the File menu and set the
Memory Requirements to 2000 or 3000, depending on
your system’s available RAM.
