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.
SelectingAuto Continuemay 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
likeTray x Missingor88 Toner Lowappear 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.
