appear.
Printing is too slow.
Possible cause Solution

your computer after
installing Status Monitor 2.
Click
Start
, select
Shut Down

to restart your computer. Then try using Status
Monitor 2.
You don’t have both parts of
Status Monitor 2 installed.
Status Monitor 2 comes in two parts: one that finds the printer on
the network, and the other that recognizes your specific printer.
Uninstall Status Monitor 2 (as described on page 6-17) and
reinstall it as described in the

Monitor 2. (See page 4-7 for instructions.) Then turn it back on
when you’re finished using ScanDisk.
The printer isn’t in the list of
monitored printers.
Make sure your printer has been added to the monitored printers
list in Status Monitor 2. See page 4-2 for more information.
