Configuring Alerts

Alerts are configured for the following events:

• When a printer is offline for a specific number of hours.
• When the quantity of printer consumables goes below a specific level.
• When an SNMP trap is sent by a printer.

NOTE:

SNMP traps are messages that originate from the printers, indicating mainly the abnormal condition of

the printers.

NOTE:

In case of multiple imaging drum printers, even if the level of one imaging drum is below the defined

threshold, an E-mail alert will be sent.

To configure an alert, perform the following steps:

1 In the navigation panel, click Manage
