Monitoring Your Printer Using EPSON Status 
Monitor 3
EPSON Status Monitor 3 is a utility program that monitors your 
printer and gives you information about its current status.
Note for Windows XP users:
❏Shared Windows XP LPR connections and shared Windows XP 
Standard TCP/IP connections with Windows clients do not support 
the Job Management function.
❏EPSON Status Monitor 3 is not available when printing from a 
Remote Desktop connection.
Note for Netware users:
When monitoring NetWare printers, a Novell Client that corresponds 
to your operating system must be used. Operation is confirmed for the 
versions below:
❏For Windows Me or 98:
Novell Client 3.4 for Windows 95/98
❏For Windows XP, 2000, or NT 4.0:
Novell Client 4.9 for Windows NT/2000/XP
❏To monitor a NetWare printer, connect only one print server to each 
queue. For directions, see the Network Guide for the printer.
❏You cannot monitor a NetWare queue printer beyond the IPX router 
because the setting for IPX hops is 0.
❏This product supports NetWare printers configured by a 
queue-based printing system such as Bindery or NDS. You cannot 
monitor NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services) printers.
