EXPLANATION:When using your Epson printer, there are cases where the Windows Firewall will block Epson programs from accessing your network. If Status Monitor cannot communicate with the printer over the network, the ink levels will be greyed-out in the printer driver.
Also, when you open Status Monitor or send a print, the Status Monitor window will appear but it may not be able to connect to the printer to report it's status.In Windows the Firewall is turnned On by default. This issue can be avoided by adding an exception to antivirus software's firewall. The method for adding an exception is explained below.
Note:Workforce and Workforce Pro products do not display ink levels in Status Monitor.The ink levels can be viewed on the printers control panel. Refer to your products user's guide for more infomation.SOLUTION:We provide an explanation here using Epson Status Monitor.
