After you send a print job to the Stylus Scan, you can use the EPSON Monitor3 utility to check, control, or cancel print jobs that are queued for printing. This utility also shows the status of the job currently being printed.

Note:
Sometimes installing new applications can make Background Printing unavailable, because the installer program has overwritten some system extensions with older versions. To solve this problem, re-install the Stylus Scan driver.
