Printer utilities

Printer Status Monitor (for general users)

"Printer Status Monitor" is on the "Software CD-ROM" (Disc 1).
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,
etc.) by means of illustrations. Available paper sizes and paper
remaining are also indicated.

Printer Administration Utility (for administrators)

"Printer Administration Utility" is on the "Software CD-ROM"
(Disc 2).
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 "INSTALLING
THE PRINTER DRIVER" 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, see the network
expansion kit online manual (for setup).
