Using the EPSON Status Monitor 2 Utility

The EPSON Status Monitor 2 utility for Windows 95 allows you
to monitor your printer's status, alerts you when printer errors
occur, and provides troubleshooting instructions when needed.
Note:
To monitor your printer through a network, you must install an
optional Type B Ethernet Interface Card (C82357 ) in your printer
and use the Status Monitor utility that comes with this interface card.
See the manual that comes with the interface card for instructions on
using the Status Monitor in a network environment.
Before using the Status Monitor, be sure to read the README
file located in the EPSON folder on your hard drive. This file
contains the latest information on the Status Monitor.
