Setting and Monitoring Alerts on Any Print Server
It is important to understand the relationship between the print server and the printer when you
are establishing alerts. Here are the relationships you need to be aware of:
Non-ZebraLink-enabled printers — can only send alerts on a specific set of printer errors
that are reported in the IEEE 1284 protocol.
ZebraLink-enabled printers — ZebraLink allows for the printer to send alerts outside of
the IEEE 1284 protocol.
ZebraLink Alerts
ZebraLink Alerts give you the ability to manage your Zebra printers by immediately notifying
System Administrators of printer error or warning conditions, which reduces printer downtime
and increases application efficiency. Using Web-based configuration tools, selected errors or
warning conditions can be routed to a variety of destinations such as email messages, wireless
pagers, or ZebraLink Alerts.
Table 16 on page 65 shows the conditions that can trigger alerts and the possible destinations.
