The Status Monitor
In many ways, the Status Monitor acts as a remote control panel for the
printer. It provides many of the printer functions traditionally associated
with the printer's physical control panel. Below is a description of some
of its functions.
•
Gives the user real-time information on what the printer is
doing.
•
Provides printer control functions (e.g. Pause, Reset).
•
Provides intelligent warning of conditions which would
prevent the sent data from printing. You can control when
and how the warnings are issued.
•
Provides context-sensitive help for printer problems.
•
Ability to quickly switch between multiple printers and
monitor each of their status.

Status Monitor.
•
If the port is FILE, non-Novell NET port, COMx or
UNKNOWN, Status Monitor provides the connection
information only.
•
If the port is a parallel port and bi-directional status is
available, Status Monitor provides PJL-based rich status,
using PJL state and job information.
•
If the port is a parallel port and bi-directional status is not
available, Status Monitor provides limited status based on
parallel port state. (Ready, Off-line, Error, Paper Out or
Busy)
•
If the port is a NetWare network port, Status Monitor
provides status based on SNMP and NetWare information.
