provides troubleshooting instructions when needed.
EPSON Status Monitor 3 is available when:
The printer is connected directly to the host computer via the
parallel port [LPT1] or the USB port.
Your system is configured to support bidirectional
communication.
EPSON Status Monitor 3 is installed when the printer is connected
directly and you install the printer driver as described in the Start

Monitor 3 so that the shared printer can be monitored on the
printer server. See Appendix , “Setting up EPSON Status Monitor
