Introduction

EPSON Status Monitor 2 is a utility program that monitors your

printer and gives you information about the current status of the

printer, including the amount of remaining ink or toner. If a print

error occurs, the Status Monitor also provides you with a message

describing the error. The Status Monitor allows you to print using

the TCP/IP protocol with Windows 95.

For more information on using the Status Monitor, open online

help included with this utility.

Before using the Status Monitor, be sure to read the README file

located on EPSON Status Monitor 2 Disk 1. This file contains the

latest information on the Status Monitor.

This chapter explains certain requirements and setup

procedures you need to follow to use EPSON Status Monitor 2.

System Requirements

Make sure your system meets the following system

requirements before using EPSON Status Monitor 2.

Printers

EPSON Status Monitor 2 can work with EPSON printers that

are connected to the network via an Ethernet Card:

EPSON Stylus COLOR 800, EPSON Stylus COLOR 1520,

EPSON Stylus COLOR 3000

EPL-N1200, EPL-N2000

FX-880, DLQ-3000+

network interface card, your software may not operate properly. You

should always use the latest network interface card driver supplied by

the card’s manufacturer.

PROTOCOLS

The protocols that must be installed to run EPSON Status

Monitor 2 vary depending on your operating system and

printer type. The following table divides printers into two

categories: LPR printers, which use TCP/IP (generally in a

Windows NT network environment); and NetWare printers,

which use Novell’s IPX/SPX protocol in a NetWare

environment. Use this table to determine what protocols you

need to install according to your operating system and printer

type, then see the corresponding section for your operating

system.

Getting Started 1-3

Note:

To set up the Ethernet card (C82357*) for use with TCP/IP, see

the documentation that came with the card. To set up the card for

use with NetWare, see your NetWare documentation.

Use NetWare in the bindery emulation mode.

If you configure more than one interface card for one queue, the

Status Monitor cannot monitor the printer that is assigned to

that queue.

For an explanation of the LPR printer protocols, see the

following section. NetWare printer protocols are already

installed in your NetWare network, so users with NetWare

printers can skip to “Installing the EPSON Status Monitor 2” on

page 1-8. For an explanation of NetWare printer protocols, see

your NetWare documentation.

LPR printer protocols

LPR printers use LPR over TCP/IP as their communication

protocol suite, and both protocols must be installed to use the

Status Monitor to monitor a LPR printer.

Win 95:

Windows 95 does not come with LPR, so in addition to installing

TCP/IP, as described below, you need to install the EPSON TCP/IP

printer protocol. The Status Monitor installer program automatically

prompts you when to install EPSON TCP/IP, see “Installing

EPSON Status Monitor 2” on

page

1-8

for

instructions.
