Alerts tab

The Alerts tab allows you to configure the printer to automatically notify you of printer alerts. The Alerts tab has links to these main pages:

Set up status alerts

Set up e-mail alerts

Administrative settings

Set up status alerts

On the Set up status alerts page you can choose to turn alerts on or off, specify when the printer should send an alert, and choose from two different types of alerts:

a pop-up message

a task bar icon

Click Apply to activate the settings.

Set up e-mail alerts

This page allows you to designate up to two e-mail addresses to notify of printer status alerts. Follow the instructions on the screen to set up e-mail alerts.

Administrative settings

This page allows you to set the frequency of how often the HP toolbox checks for printer alerts. Three settings are available:

once per minute (every 60 seconds)

twice per minute (every 30 seconds)

twenty times per minute (every 3 seconds)

If you want to reduce network I/O traffic, reduce the frequency that the printer checks for alerts.
