Accessing EPSON Status Monitor 3

EPSON Status Monitor 3 monitors the printer during printing and while the EPSON Status Monitor 3 dialog box is open.
You can access the EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility by selecting the EPSON Status Monitor 3 alias on the Apple menu.
Note:
The appropriate printer port must already be selected in the Chooser
so that necessary information can be received from the selected printer driver when the EPSON Status Monitor 3 starts. If the printer port is incorrect, an error will occur.
If you change the printer driver in the Chooser while the spool file
is printing in the background, output to the printer may be disrupted.
Printer and consumable product status information appear in the
status window only if the Chooser can acquire status information normally.
