Status Display Help

The Status Display is a useful tool for displaying information about the operating condition of your printer. The printer driver operates independently of the Status Display, so installation of the Status Display is not required. However, installation is recommended in order to take advantage of the full power and functionality of your printer software.

Note: The Status Display is available only when installed on a computer that is connected to the printer via a local connection.
