Using the printer software
Status Monitor (Windows only)
The Status Monitor software is distinct from and installed
separately from the driver software.
The Status Monitor provides a readable indication of the
printer status as displayed on the indicator LEDs on the
Operation Panel (see “The Operation Panel” on page 10.) and
allows you to access the printer menus (listed at the end of this
chapter) to set printer parameters such as paper size etc.
Using the Status Monitor
Viewing the status of the printer, and viewing or changing the
printer menu settings are carried out though the Status
Monitor. Click on [Start], [All Programs] and select
Okidata|OKI 3400| Status Monitor. The current printer
status is shown.
Printer State tab
This tab is visible by default on opening the Status Monitor and
displays detailed information about the status of the printer.
NOTE
For reliable operation of the Status Monitor, ensure that the
USB cable is of length 2m maximum.
NOTE
The Status Monitor is available to Windows operating systems
only. Mac OS X has a “Printer Menu” utility that allows you to
change the user settings outlined in this chapter.
NOTE
You are advised to refer to the extensive on-line help as
required when using the Status Monitor.
