Printer alerts
Your printer can communicate are two types of alerts:
● Errors: Mainly alerting you to the fact that the printer is unable to print. However, in the driver,
errors can also alert you to conditions that could ruin the print, such as clipping, even if the printer
is able to print.
● Warnings: Alert you when the printer needs attention either for an adjustment, such a calibration
or for a possible unprintable situation, such a preventive maintenance or low ink.
There are three different alerts communicators within your printer's system.
● Embedded Web Server: The upper-right corner of the EWS screen shows the Printer status. If
there is an alert in the printer, the status shows the alert text. Both the front-panel display and the
EWS show the same alert.
● Driver: The driver shows alerts. The driver warns about job configuration settings that may produce
a problem in the final output. If the printer is not ready to print, it displays a warning.
● HP Easy Printer Care (Windows) or HP Printer Utility (Mac OS): In HP Easy Printer Care,
select the Overview tab > Items needing attention. In HP Printer Utility, select the HP Printer
Monitor > See alerts, at the bottom of panel. In these areas you can find the following:
● Printer status
● Alerts when the printer cannot print a job
● Print-quality and general troubleshooting links
● Firmware update notices
● Maintenance tools, like color calibration
● Access to the job queue, job accounting, and printer usage information
● Access to some printer settings as well as the network settings.
By default alerts are only displayed when you are printing and there are printing problems. For
example: cartridge low or out of ink or printer out of paper. If alerts are enabled and there is a
problem that prevents printing, you see a pop-up window, which explains why the printer is not going
to print. Follow the on-screen instructions to achieve your required result.
You can configure these alerts as desktop alerts as well. Alert settings can be accessed from the
Overview tab. There is also a link to alert settings in each alert dialog box. Alerts can be completely
disabled by setting it to Off in Alert settings. You can choose to receive alerts only when printing to
the printer (default) or anytime problems occur. You can also set the alert method: pop-up dialog
(default) or desktop alert.
