Mail notification function settings
The mail notification function can be used to send corresponding 
notification messages to a preset e-mail address when a projector that is 
connected to the network assumes a certain status, or if it experiences a 
problem or warning. By using this function, the operator can be notified 
of a projector’s status or problems even when the operator is in a 
different location from the projectors.
q
•Up to three addressees (destinations) can be registered and messages can be 
sent to all of them at once.
•If a critical problem develops with a projector which causes it to suddenly 
stop working, it may not be possible for the projector to send a message 
notifying an operator of the problem.
•If Standby Mode is set to Communication On (or Network On) or Network 
Monitoring is set to On in the projector configuration menus, you can 
monitor the projector even when it is in standby mode (when its power is 
turned off). See your User's Guide for more information.
•On some projectors, the mail notification function can be set in the 
configuration menu. When notification messages are set to be sent in the 
projector's configuration menu, both the settings in the configuration menu 
and settings made on EasyMP Monitor are functional.
