Tell me about sending of messages

 

What are notifications?

When certain events occur (e.g. a job is aborted), notifications create e-mails in the system that are sent to defined recipients.

Of course, this function only makes sense if an appropriate e-mail system is set up in your business. This system must be constantly online at least within your company, meaning that you do not have to log in explicitly to download e-mails.

To set up notifications, you must

Note: You must be logged in as Administrator to call up notifications.

 

Set up a notification sender

By clicking the button in front of Notification Sender, you can enter the sender details, i.e. the e-mail data of the server on which the HP Designjet 50ps software is installed.

First of all you have to enter the HP Designjet 50ps software server e-mail address in order to have messages clearly identified. Also the SMTP server address has to be entered as e-mails are sent and called up via this medium. It is not mandatory to enter the POP3 host.

The software must be able to effect an independent login so that the messages will be automatically sent. Therefore you have to enter the user name and the password for e-mail access. The password is encoded in order to ensure that no unauthorized persons get access to the e-mail account.

Define notification recipients

You can enter up to four notification recipients. As notifications are sent by e-mail, it is also possible to have recipients who are not directly connected to the network the HP Designjet 50ps printer is connected to.

By activating the control panels, you define the individual parameters of notification for every recipient. You have to enable at least one of these control panel options for notification to activate the address option.

  • Cancel job: A job was cancelled. The job was either set on hold by the system due to an occurring error or was stopped manually via the job list.
  • Device messages: All device-dependent messages such as no paper or notifications about regular density calibration with close loop color calibration. See How do I perform a Close Loop Color Calibration?
  • Note: NT computers in the network can also receive density calibration notifications via the NT Message. Set up this function in the HP Designjet 50ps EngineManager. Further information is to be found in the respective Online Help file.

  • Drive monitor warnings: Drive monitoring alerts if the hard disk space limit of the monitored drive is reached. To have these alerts displayed, all necessary drive monitor settings must be set.
