Monitoring the Status of Your HP OfficeJet LX
When the HP OfficeJet LX Manager window is open, it monitors the status of your device. The messages displayed in the status area (the upper left corner) are the same as the messages displayed on the device's front panel. This allows you to know when errors occur without waiting for a job to fail or checking the front panel.
To test this, with your HP OfficeJet LX Manager window open, lift up the front cover of the device. You will see the HP OfficeJet LX Manager window change, as shown in this illustration. Note that the message in the status area ("Close cover") matches the message on the front panel.

Using the Alert Options
You can also choose to have the HP OfficeJet LX Manager window pop to the foreground whenever an error and/or warning occurs. The window will appear regardless of whether the HP OfficeJet LX Manager is open or minimized. You can change this setting at any time.
From the HP OfficeJet LX Manager menu bar, choose File/Alert Options. The Alert Options dialog box appears. You can choose to have the window appear when Errors Occur, when Warnings and Errors Occur, or Never. The factory setting is Errors Occur.
Chapter 7 of this manual includes a listing of all the HP OfficeJet LX error messages that require response from the user, together with recovery information. The same material is provided in the online help, which also includes the messages that don't require response from the user.
