CAUTION:

If you turn the printer off before the file system check has finished, the file system could be

seriously damaged, making the printer's hard disk unusable. In any case, the file system check will restart
from the beginning whenever you turn the printer on again.

A file system check is scheduled every 90 days, in order to maintain the hard disk's file system integrity.

NOTE:

When the printer is powered back on, it takes about three minutes to initialize and check and

prepare the printhead. However, it can take up to 40 under some conditions, for example, when the printer
has not been used for a long period of time and requires more time to prepare the printhead.

Alerts

Your printer can communicate two types of alerts:

Errors: Mainly alerting you to the fact that the printer is unable to work normally. However, in the
printer driver, errors can also alert you to conditions that could ruin the print, such as clipping, even if
the printer is able to print.

Warnings: Alert you when the printer needs attention either for an adjustment, such as a calibration or
for a possible unprintable situation, such as a preventive maintenance or low ink.

There are various ways in which you can receive alerts.

Front-panel display: The front panel shows only the most relevant alert at a time. In the case of a
warning, it disappears after a timeout. There are permanent alerts, such as "ink cartridge low on ink",
that reappear when the printer becomes idle and there is not another more severe alert.

TIP:

From the front panel display you can configure paper mismatch alerts, see

Paper suitability

options on page 27

.

Embedded Web Server: The upper-right corner of the Embedded Web Server window shows the printer
status. If there is an alert in the printer, the status shows the alert text.

HP Designjet Utility for Windows: Select Alert settings from the HP Designjet Utility taskbar icon to
control the kinds of alerts that will be displayed by default.

HP Printer Monitor for Mac OS X: The HP Printer Monitor shows you alerts directly in the Dock if you
installed the HP Utility. If you have not done so already, please read

Turn alerts on and off on page 30

.

By default, alerts are displayed only when you are printing. If alerts are enabled and there is a problem that
prevents a job from completing, you see a pop-up window, which explains the reason for the problem. Follow
the instructions to achieve your required result.

NOTE:

There are environments that do not support bidirectional communication. In those cases, alerts do

not reach the job owner.
