Viewing error messages

When you send a print job to the printer, the Progress Meter opens, as shown in the illustration below.

The Progress Meter indicates the progress of the current print job and provides printer status information when bidirectional communication between the printer and computer is established. This meter also displays error messages and helpful tips for better printing, as explained below.

Note:
The Progress Meter does not appear when the Show Progress Meter check box is cleared in the Speed & Progress dialog box. See Speed & Progress (not available for Windows 3.1) for more information.

Viewing printing tips

Tips for getting the most out of your EPSON printer driver appear in the text box at the bottom of the Progress Meter window. A new tip appears every 30 seconds. For more details on a tip, click the Details button while that tip is displayed.
