PrintAgent Program Menus

PrintAgent program menus are available two ways.
• In Windows 95/98, press the Start button, select
Programs, and select NEC PrintAgent System to display
PrintAgent commands.
• Once you have started the PrintAgent, you can click on
the PrintAgent icon (the green spider in the coffee cup) in
the Tool Tray at the bottom right corner of your Windows
95/98 desktop.
Menu commands are described below.
Start
PrintAgent starts automatically when you try to print or use
the property pages. Keeping it running speeds print time
because you won't have to wait for PrintAgent to start up
every time you print. To monitor the printer status,
PrintAgent must be running. To start PrintAgent, press the
Windows Start button, select Programs, and select NEC
PrintAgent System to display PrintAgent commands.
Choose Start. A red spider in a coffee cup appears in the
Windows Tool Tray in the lower right-hand corner of the
screen. If the spider doesn't turn green after five seconds,
PrintAgent did not launch properly. Restart your computer
and try again.
Stop
To stop PrintAgent, select Stop from the Tool Tray menu or
Program menu.
Monitor a Printer
Select this from the Tool Tray menu to monitor any 4400N
PrintAgent printer on your network.
Add Printers
Once the PrintAgent software is installed, you can add any
4400N printer to your system. Select Add Printer, enter the
URL of the 4400N printer and click Install.
If you get a message box indicating that the PrintAgent could
not access the printer, first verify that the URL you typed is
correct. An easy way to verify a correct URL is to try adding
the printer again.
If the URL was correct and PrintAgent still cannot establish
