Basic Printing Note: If you are using Windows 98 or Me and connecting to the printer through your USB port or through a network, you will not see the status information. The following status information also appears: ◗ Media Check A check in the Perform Media Check before printing box means this function is selected (the default setting). The Media Check function automatically compares the media selected with the printer control panel with the media selected in the printer driver and alerts you if they don't match. To turn off this function, click the box; the checkmark disappears. ◗ Paper Status The Paper Status box displays information about the paper loaded in the printer. You select the paper feed path in the driver, and the Status Monitor checks the printer for the size, type, and amount. The paper size and amount is determined by the printer. The media type is defined by the Media Type setting you make with the printer's control panel. ◗ Ink Status The Ink Status box displays the amount of remaining ink for each color. Checking Printer Status with Windows NT With Windows NT 4.0 servers and workstations, the messenger service alerts you to printer errors or lets you know when a print job is finished. If you have appropriate network access privileges or if you're controlling printing from the server, you can also cancel, pause, or restart print jobs and set the sharing, security, scheduling, and port options. See your Windows NT 4.0 documentation for details. 1-8
