About the EPSON Status Monitor 3 Utility

The EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility comes with your printer but
is available only when using Windows 95, 98, or NT 4.0. It allows
you to monitor your printer’s status, alerts you when printer
errors occur, and provides troubleshooting instructions when
needed.

The EPSON Status Monitor 3 is available only when:

❏ The printer is connected directly to the host computer via the

parallel port [LPT1].

❏ Your system is configured to support bidirectional

communication.

You can install the EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility when you
install the printer driver.

Before using the Status Monitor, be sure to read the README file
in the Disk 1 folder on the driver disk. This file contains the latest
information on the Status Monitor.

Note:
If you install the driver by using Add Printer in the Printers folder, or
by using the “Point and Print” method, Status Monitor 3 may not
function properly. If you want to use Status Monitor 3, reinstall the
driver as described in Chapter 1.
