Click Start from the Windows taskbar, go to All Programs, open the Astro Machine folder, then click on
“Toolbox”. When the “User Interface” window opens you will find a series of Menu Options you can click
on at the lower left of the screen. You can check the Printer Status in the upper left part of the screen.
