Alarm Detection The PrinterMap Status Service periodically queries printers for current status and alarm information. The polling interval of the Status Service is configured through the Status panel of the Configuration window. When a printer reports an alarm condition the alarm information is recorded. Automated actions are launched when configured through the Configuration window Alarms panel. By default, all alarms are written to the PrinterMap alarm log. Alarm Configuration Once an alarm is detected, PrinterMap can log the alarm, launch a pop-up notification window, or launch an executable. The action taken by PrinterMap depends on the settings of the Configuration window Alarms panel. By default, PrinterMap logs all detected printer alarms to the alarm history log. Refer to "Alarms" in Chapter 2 for more details. Viewing Alarms Printer alarms detected by PrinterMap may be viewed in two different ways. An individual printer's most recent alarm conditions or the history of all alarms logged by PrinterMap can be viewed.
