Viewing Printing Tips - Epson Stylus Color 980 Manual

The Progress Meter indicates the progress of the current print job
and provides printer status information when bidirectional
communication between the printer and computer is established.
This meter also displays error messages and helpful tips for better
printing, as explained below.
Note:
The Progress Meter does not appear when the Show Progress Meter
check box is cleared in the Speed & Progress dialog box. See "Speed &
Progress (not available for Windows 3.1)" on page 3-40 for more
information.
