Using the Printer Status Monitor Program

Type C:\RPCX>STMX and press the Enter key to make the Printer Status
Monitor Program stay resident in your computer memory. If there are any
changes to the printer status, it displays a message on your computer screen.
If the Printer Status Monitor program stays resident in your computer, you
can monitor the printer status on your computer screen immediately by
using the hot-key (Ctrl+Alt+R).
To remove the Printer Status Monitor program from your computer memory,
type C:\RPCX>STMX/R and press the Enter key.
The RPC works in the environment where your MFC is directly connected
to your computer. If you are using printer buffer switches that do not
support bi-directional communication between the MFC and computer, the
program works only in the PC to MFC direction and cannot receive MFC
status information.
The program does not work with MFCs on a network.
If the RPC conflicts with some application software, exit your application
software and then run the RPC.

"CHARASET.PRN" or any print files you have made.

MFC and the printer settings will be cleared.
