7.5 Checking the Printer Status via E-mail
If your printer is networked and set up for e-mail and TCP/IP communication, you can use
the StatusMessenger.
• If you send the printer an e-mail asking for the its status, the printer sends you the
information by e-mail.
• The printer can send e-mail notification of errors (paper jams, consumable status, etc.) to
the specified e-mail addresses. The recipients can periodically track the status of the print
cartridge and can be aware of exactly when to replace it. The recipient of this notification
should be your network administrator or a distribution list.
