How do I send messages?

 

How do I proceed to automatically send messages to other computers in case of certain events (e.g. in case of errors)?

If the internal mail system has been configured accordingly, e-mails can be sent from the print server to other computers in case of various events. Three different types of events are possible:

  • Messages indicating that a job has been cancelled (due to an error or a user action).
  • Device-specific messages (e.g. notification of calibrations pending).
  • Alerts issued by the drive monitor (refer also to Tell me about the drive monitor).

Note: To send calibration notifications, you can also use Windows NT® messages (see Sending NT messages on a calibration).

Setting up the automatic notification

Prerequisites: You must be logged in as Admin.

  • Click Administration and select the Notification panel.
  • First click the button in front of Notification Sender and then enter the data of the print server on which the HP Designjet 50ps software is installed and from which the notifications are to be sent.
  • Save the settings by clicking OK.
  • Then open the settings for Notification Recipient.
  • Enter the e-mail address of at least one recipient and activate the events for which an e-mail is to be sent to this address. In this way, you can exactly define who is to be notified of which events.
  • Save the settings by clicking OK.

Sending NT messages on a calibration

It is also possible to send notifications of pending calibration processes to other Windows NT® computers connected to the network.

The NT message can only be sent to other Windows NT® computers. To do so, you have to specify the IP address of these computers in the network. Macintosh clients cannot be notified via this system.

  • Start the HP Designjet 50ps EngineManager on the server by selecting Start > Programs > hp Designjet 50ps > hp Designjet 50ps EngineManager.
  • Switch to the Parameter tab and double-click Output device parameters.
  • Under Close Loop Color Calibration, double-click the entries Parameter > Alert type > NT Message to open them.
  • Click Enable and set the option to Yes.
  • Click Address and type the network name of the computer on which the notification is to be generated into the text box.
  • Then click save or save & exit.

When the interval set for the calibration has elapsed, a message is generated on the Windows NT® computer specified.
