Managing printer messages
Use the Status Messenger application to view error messages requiring your intervention on your printer. When there
is an error, a bubble appears telling you what the error is, and points you to the appropriate recovery information.
If you installed Status Messenger with your printer software, then the application launches automatically when the
software installation is completed. The installation is successful if you see the Status Messenger icon in the system tray.
Notes:
• This feature is available only in Windows XP or later.
• Make sure bidirectional communication support is in place so the printer and the computer can communicate.

Accessing the remote control panel
The remote control panel on your computer screen lets you interact with the printer control panel, even when you are
not physically near the network printer. From your computer screen, you can view the printer status and do print-
related tasks you might normally do while standing at the network printer.

• Print a network setup page or menu settings page, and then locate the IP address in the TCP/IP section. The
IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 123.123.123.123.
