Using the Status Monitor

38

The printer allows you to monitor the printer status via a 
USB connection. This is called the status monitor.
The status monitor has the following functions.
• Displaying the current printer status and job 

processing status (page 38)

• Displaying the ink level (page 38)
• Displaying error messages (page 55)
• Pausing printing or cancelling printing by opening the 

Windows spooler window (page 38)

When executing a print command, the status monitor 
starts automatically and the 

 icon appears on the task 

bar.
When you double-click the 

 icon, the status monitor 

appears.
When printing is completed, the status monitor 
automatically disappears.

Display the status monitor by double-clicking the 

 

icon.
The ink level is displayed at the right top corner of the 
window.

How to check the ink level
The number of squares indicates the remaining amount 
of the ink.

 : The ink level is sufficient.
 : The ink level is 10 to 50%.
 : The ink level is less than 10%. With the 

remaining amount of ink, about 100 sheets can be 
printed. Prepare a new ink cartridge.

 : The ink level is 0%. The ink has run out. 

Replace the ink cartridge.
For detailed information on how to replace the ink 
cartridge, see “Replacing the Ink Cartridges” on page 
43.

The status monitor allows you to monitor and control the 
print job.
When the monitor is displayed, the printer status is 
displayed.
