General Description

The Device Monitor software displays detailed status information for devices connected to the network, and

displays notication when events such as errors or print job completion occur. The software can also be used

to check the level of consumables such as toner and paper. The software must be installed separately on each

PCs.

Displays the status and the connection of the device.

If an error occurs during printing,

the Device Monitor displays a

popup message automatically to

NOTE

1. When managing a number of devices from a single computer, you can use Device Explorer to

search the network for all connected devices, and display them in a list. You can then open the

Device Monitor for a device by selecting it in the Device Explorer device list.

2. Although the Device Explorer and Device Monitor are typically used together, you can also use

the two utilities independently if you wish.

You can use the Device Monitor on its own in cases such as, when there are few devices connected

to a computer, or when you normally use a particular device only from that computer.
