Center
Introduction
Printer Status Monitor Center is an application that shows the status of multiple printing devices connected to the host through local ports (USB) or network ports. Printer Status Monitor Center locates network printing devices by
using the Service Location Protocol (SLP), and only supports printing devices
responding to KONICA MINOLTA–specific SLP and PJL queries such as the
magicolor 2300 DL and the magicolor 2430 DL.
" If a KONICA MINOLTA product is not compatible with both SLP and
KONICA MINOLTA–specific PJL, Printer Status Monitor Center cannot
be used.
" You need to enable Bi-Directional Support from Printer Properties in
order to work properly when opening the Printer Status Monitor Center.
