Printer Menu Bar Options

Individual printer ports are displayed as options under the Printer Menu Bar, and a pop-up window
opens when any of the printer ports are selected. The printer ports not existing on the print server
are shadowed.
On the popup window, you can check the connection status of the print server such as on-line,
off-line, paper jam, and out-of-paper. Also on display is the printing information indicating if the
print server is sending data to the printer or if the printer is idling. At the bottom of the screen are
four buttons as described in
