Chapter 5: Monitoring the Printer Status
Monitoring the Printer Status
The SuperScript 660plus printer allows you to monitor
the current status of the printer on your computer
using the SuperScript Status program. The program
has two primary functions:
• To let you monitor the status of the printer.
• To alert you when there is a problem, such as
paper running out.
There are two ways to run the Printer Status software.
In Windows 95, click the Start button, point to Pro-
grams, NEC SuperScript Tools, and then click Local
Printer Status Display.
In Windows 3.1 or 3.11, double click the NEC
SuperScript Tools program group, then double click
Local Printer Status Display.
Another way to access Printer Status is to click the
Local Printer Status button on the Control Panel tab of
the SuperScript Console.
The Printer Status window also appears automatically
when the software detects a printer error.
Note: On some PCs, when the Printer Status display
appears, shortcut keys are not available but you can
continue to use the mouse.

The SuperScript Printer Status display has three status
indicators, two boxes with information for you, and
various printer control buttons. The status indicators
mimic what you would see on the status panel of your
printer, and provide a quick view of the printer's
status.
The information box at the top of the Printer Status
window shows the current printer status and displays
an icon if there is an error condition. The information
box at the bottom has specific job information when a
print job is printing or paused.
