Printer utilities
The "Software" CD-ROM contains the following two printer
utilities.
Printer Status Monitor (for general users)
This allows the user to check on the computer screen whether
or not the machine is able to print.
It provides information on error states such as paper misfeeds
and shows the configuration of the machine (number of trays,
whether or not there is a finisher, etc.) by means of illustrations.
Available paper sizes and paper remaining are also indicated.
Printer Administration Utility (for administrators)
This allows the administrator to check information on supplies
and error states of the machine and other SHARP printers
(compatible with the Printer Administration Utility) that are
connected to the network. Settings can also be changed via the
utility.
Before using the Printer Status Monitor
Note the following points before using the Printer Status
Monitor.
Printing via a server
When the first print job is executed after starting up the Printer
Status Monitor, the machine's IP address is automatically set in
the Printer Status Monitor.
Direct printing without a server
Install and configure the software as explained in "USING THE
MACHINE AS A NETWORK PRINTER" in the software setup
guide for network printer. (This is not necessary if the software
has already been installed and configured.)
In order to use the Printer Status Monitor and Printer
Administration Utility, the machine must be connected
to a network.
To install the Printer Status Monitor and Printer
Administration Utility, see software setup guide for
network printer.
To use the Printer Administration Utility in Windows 95,
a system file must be updated. See the detailed
information in the select packages window of the
installer (see the software setup guide for network
printer).
