For Macintosh users

You can access the EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility by selecting the EPSON Status Monitor 3 alias in 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 not correct, 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 products status information appears in the status window only if the Chooser is acquiring status normally.
