Troubleshooting
In Windows 98 or Windows 95, the Status Monitor 2 window doesn't
appear.

your computer after
installing Status Monitor 2.
You don't have both parts of
Status Monitor 2 installed.
You're using ScanDisk.
The printer isn't in the list of
monitored printers.
Printing is too slow.
Possible cause

options are set incorrectly.

enough resources.

printing on a Macintosh.
Solution
Click Start , select Shut Down , click Restart the computer , and
click Yes to restart your computer. Then try using Status

the network, and the other that recognizes your specific printer.
Uninstall Status Monitor 2 (as described on page 6-17) and
reinstall it as described in the Setup Guide .
Before using ScanDisk, turn off background monitoring in Status
Monitor 2. (See page 4-7 for instructions.) Then turn it back on
when you're finished using ScanDisk.
Make sure your printer has been added to the monitored printers
list in Status Monitor 2. See page 4-2 for more information.
