Let's say you created an Action to send an e-mail notification when a Load Paper or Envelope

condition occurs. But after a week, the e-mail recipient is receiving too many notifications, and often

when he goes to a device, someone else has already loaded more paper. By using the Delay Time

option, you can create a filter that will only send a notification if the Load Paper or Envelope c ondition

has been active for an amount of time that you specify.

Likewise, if your Action is triggered by a Folder Alert, you can delay its executi on by using the With a

delay of: option.

If you want to create an Action that uses the Delay Time option:

1From the MarkVision Messenger Home screen, click Create New.

2Enter your Action information in the setup screens that follow, and then click .

3Enter the filter information:

If your Action is triggered by Device Status Alerts

•From the Filter Type screen, choose Trigger on Active.

•Under Delay Time, specify how long you want the Action to wait to execute its command. For

example, type in 20 and select Minute(s) from the drop-down list.

If your Action is triggered by Folder Alerts

From the Filter Type screen, select Simple Filter.

Under with a delay of:, specify how long you want the Action to wait to execute its command. For

example, type in 2, and then select Hour(s) from the drop-down list.

Click OK, and then complete the remaining steps.
