Configuring printer alerts
You can configure the printer several ways to let you know when it requires attention.
Using the Setup Menu
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, the network printer management utility, indicates when it is time to replace supplies and points 
out actual or potential problems. When a printer needs attention, it alerts the network administrator with a detailed graphic 
of the printer showing the cause for the alert (for example, an empty paper tray). For more information about MarkVision 
Professional, refer to the Software and Documentation CD that shipped with your printer.
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, refer to the Software and Documentation CD that shipped with your printer.
