42 Configuring printer alerts You can configure the printer several ways to let you know when it requires attention. Using the Setup Menu Four menu items in the Setup Menu let you configure printer alerts: • Alarm Control-Lets you establish whether the printer sounds an alarm when the printer requires operator intervention. • Hole Punch Alarm-Lets you specify how the printer responds when the hole punch box becomes full. • Staple Alarm-Lets you choose how the printer responds when it is out of staples. • Toner Alarm-Lets you choose how the printer responds when toner is low. For each of these menu items, you can select a value or either Off, Single, or Continuous. If you select Single or Continuous, the printer stops printing, displays a message, and activates the selected alarm type. If you select Off, the printer displays a message and continues printing pages. When Alarm Control is set to Off, the alarm does not sound, but printing stops until the interventions are cleared. If multiple attendance conditions are pending, the alarm only sounds when the first message is displayed. No additional alarms sound as subsequent attendance conditions arise. Selecting Auto Continue may affect how the printer alerts execute. This setting defines how long the printer waits after displaying a message before it resumes printing. Using MarkVision Professional MarkVision™ Professional, Lexmark's printer management utility, indicates when it's time to replace supplies and points out actual or potential problems. When a printer needs attention, it alerts you with a detailed graphic of the printer showing the cause for the alert (for example, an empty paper tray). Using MarkVision Messenger MarkVision Messenger lets you create Actions that execute specific commands whenever messages like Tray x Missing or 88 Toner Low appear on the display. For example, you can create an Action that sends an e-mail to the administrator when the printer runs out of paper. Actions can be set up to occur automatically, as well as conditionally or repeatedly. For more information about MarkVision Messenger, see the drivers CD. 142

Configuring printer alerts

You can configure the printer several ways to let you know when it requires attention.

Using the Setup Menu

Four menu items in the Setup Menu let you configure printer alerts:

•

Alarm Control

—Lets you establish whether the printer sounds an alarm when the printer

requires operator intervention.

•

Hole Punch Alarm

—Lets you specify how the printer responds when the hole punch box

becomes full.

•

Staple Alarm

—Lets you choose how the printer responds when it is out of staples.

•

Toner Alarm

—Lets you choose how the printer responds when toner is low.

For each of these menu items, you can select a value or either Off, Single, or Continuous. If you select

Single or Continuous, the printer stops printing, displays a message, and activates the selected alarm

type. If you select Off, the printer displays a message and continues printing pages. When Alarm

Control is set to Off, the alarm does not sound, but printing stops until the interventions are cleared. If

multiple attendance conditions are pending, the alarm only sounds when the first message is

displayed. No additional alarms sound as subsequent attendance conditions arise.

Selecting

Auto Continue

may affect how the printer alerts execute. This setting defines how long the

printer waits after displaying a message before it resumes printing.

Using MarkVision Professional

MarkVision™ Professional, Lexmark’s printer management utility, indicates when it’s time to replace

supplies and points out actual or potential problems. When a printer needs attention, it alerts you with

a detailed graphic of the printer showing the cause for the alert (for example, an empty paper tray).

Using MarkVision Messenger

MarkVision Messenger lets you create Actions that execute specific commands whenever messages

Tray x Missing

88 Toner Low

appear on the display. For example, you can create an Action

that sends an e-mail to the administrator when the printer runs out of paper.

Actions can be set up to occur automatically, as well as conditionally or repeatedly. For more

information about MarkVision Messenger, see the drivers CD.
