Printer and Print Server Alerts
Alerts give you the ability to proactively manage your Zebra printer and print server. Suppose that the printer or print server has an error. The given device can be configured to send out alerts and ZebraNet Bridge writes the alerts to a log file. These alerts notify you of printer or print server conditions.
As soon as ZebraNet Bridge receives an alert, the alert appears in the Events tab. If you have not yet viewed the alert in the Events tab, the box in the status bar at the bottom of the application shows:
