About the EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility
EPSON Status Monitor 3 is a utility program that monitors your
printer and gives you information about its current status. For

remaining functional life of the photoconductor unit through this
utility. If a print error occurs, the utility provides you with a
message describing the error. The Status Monitor 3 utility is
accessed from within the printer driver. See “Accessing EPSON
Status Monitor 3” on page 36 for more information.
