Printing with Windows / Checking Printer Status and Managing Print Jobs

Using the Progress Meter

When you send a print job to the printer, the Progress Meter shown below appears on your computer screen.

The Progress Meter indicates the progress of the current print job and provides printer status information when bidirectional communication between the printer and computer is established. This meter also displays helpful tips for better printing, as explained below.

Note:

The Progress Meter does not appear when Show Progress Meter is turned off in the Speed & Progress dialog box. See Speed & Progress for information.

EPSON Printing Tips

Tips for getting the most out of your EPSON printer driver appear at the bottom of the Progress Meter window. A new tip appears every 30 seconds. For more details on a displayed tip, click the Details button.

Error messages

If a problem occurs while printing, an error message appears in the Progress Meter window. When the ink runs low or out, the How to button appears in the Printer Status window. Click How To and the Status Monitor will lead you step-by-step through the cartridge replacement procedure.
