Displaying the Printer Status on a Macintosh

Using the Status Monitor, you can display the amount of ink left and other printer status details on the computer. You can also check any errors that occur in the print job queue window.

The print job queue window opens automatically when you execute a print command. Using the Status Monitor, you can also display the printer status without executing a print command.

To view the printer's status on your computer, bidirectional communication between the printer and computer must be established.
