network, this menu provides information on network
connections and other printer resources.

Using the Background Monitoring Feature

The Status Monitor's background monitoring feature lets you
monitor your printer more conveniently by automatically
updating the selected printer's status whenever you are using
your computer. As described in the next section, activating
background monitoring for your printer is a two-step process:
first you check that the basic background monitoring feature is
active, then you select a printer in the Installed Printers list and
activate background monitoring for that printer. You can also
set other monitoring preferences for the selected printer.

Setting monitoring preferences

Follow the steps below to activate background monitoring and
set other monitoring preferences for each printer you want to
monitor.
1. Make sure the Status Monitor's basic background monitoring
feature is active. It is active if the printer-shaped
background monitoring icon appears on the taskbar at the
bottom of your computer screen. If background monitoring
is inactive, open the EPSON Status Monitor 2 window from
the Start menu, as described on page 6-3. Then point to
Background Monitoring on the Settings menu and click
Monitor from restart or Monitor now to activate
background monitoring.
