Introduction
This chapter describes various printer settings that the printer administrator may wish to control as soon
as a new printer is assembled and ready for use.
Automatic firmware update
The printer can automatically check for a firmware update periodically (see Firmware update
on page 88). Without an update, some Web Services may not be available. The Enable Web
Services process includes the option to turn on automatic firmware updates from the printer's front panel
or Embedded Web Server.
Turn email notifications on and off
In order to receive email notifications from the printer, you must have configured the email server. To
configure the email server using the Embedded Web Server, select Settings > Email server, and fill
in the following fields:
●
SMTP server: the IP address or hostname of the outgoing mail server (SMTP) that will process all
email messages from the printer. If the mail server requires authentication, email notifications will
not work.
●
Printer email address: each email message sent by the printer must include a return address,
which does not need to be a real, functional email address, but it should be unique, so that
recipients of the message can identify the printer that sent it.
You can turn specific email notifications on or off by selecting Notifications from the Tools tab of the
Embedded Web Server.
Turn alerts on and off
Printer alerts warn you when there is a printer problem that you can correct by taking action, or when
one of your printing jobs changes its status. The alerts are displayed by the printer's front panel, by the
HP Utility, by the printer driver and by the Embedded Web Server.
You can change the alert settings in various ways to display all, some, or none of the available alerts.
To access alert settings under Windows
●
Select Alert Settings in the Tools menu of the HP Designjet Utility.
●
Select Alert Settings in any alert page displayed by the HP Designjet Utility.
●
Right-click the system tray icon of the HP Designjet Utility, and select Alert Settings.
In the Alert Settings window, you can use the Alerting slider to turn off alerts completely.
