Using Monitor3
The Monitor3 utility lets you continue to work on your Macintosh
while your document is printing (however, background printing is
slower and may also slow down your system). You can then open
the Monitor3 dialog box to check on your print jobs and cancel,
pause, or restart them.
To use this utility, you need to turn on background printing and
increase the memory allocation for Monitor3, as described in
Setting Up Monitor3.
Setting Up Monitor3
1 Open the Chooser from the Apple menu and select the SC 740
icon. Then select the port you’re using.
2 Under Background Printing, click On and close the Chooser.
3 To increase the memory allocation, select EPSON Monitor3 in
the Extensions folder in your System folder. Then choose Get
Info from the File menu and set the Memory Requirements to
2000 or 3000, depending on your system’s available RAM.
Note:
You can also turn on
background printing
while you’re using
your printer software;
