Device Status and Alerts The HP Color LaserJet 3500 printing-system software includes a utility called Device Status and Alerts that you can use to monitor print jobs and printer status from the desktop. The Device Status and Alerts feature provides printer and job status information such as printing history, job progress, toner and paper levels, and consumables and supplies reordering information, and presents a simulated view of the printer control panel. This utility offers several options for configuring pop-up windows to view the status of the printer and of individual print jobs. Device Status and Alerts is a selectable component of Custom Installation. To install Device Status and Alerts, select Custom Installation, and then select the Device Status and Alerts check box. Device Status and Alerts features are available for printers that have a connection that supports bidirectional functionality, whether directly or over a network. The Device Status and Alerts feature cannot be installed over infrared (IR) or serial ports. See "Bidirectional communication." HP Device Status and Alerts communicates with the printer only during an active print job, which minimizes network traffic. The following restrictions apply to HP products that use Device Status and Alerts: When using Device Status and Alerts with Microsoft printer sharing, the following items apply: When the Device Status and Alerts feature is installed, a status icon in the form of a printer is included in the Windows system tray in the lower-right corner of the screen, in the Systray. The printer icon remains unchanged until you send a print job to the HP Color LaserJet 3500 series printer. When you send a print job, the icon changes to alert you to the status of the print job. Eight icons exist in this feature. Neither the Receiving nor the Waiting icon ever shows up in the Systray. When the print job is in a receiving or waiting state, the Printing icon appears in the Systray.
