Monitoring the Status of Your HP OfficeJet LX

When the HP OfficeJet LX Manager window is
open, it monitors the status of your device. The
messages displayed in the status area (the upper left
corner) are the same as the messages displayed on
the device's front panel. This allows you to know
when errors occur without waiting for a job to fail
or checking the front panel.

To test this, with your HP OfficeJet LX Manager
window open, lift up the front cover of the device.
You will see the HP OfficeJet LX Manager window
change, as shown in this illustration. Note that the
message in the status area ("Close cover") matches
the message on the front panel.

When the HP OfficeJet LX Manager is minimized, the bottom line of the icon displays the
device status, as shown here. In some cases, these status messages will be briefer than the
front-panel display.

Using the Alert Options

You can also choose to have the HP OfficeJet LX Manager
window pop to the foreground whenever an error and/or
warning occurs. The window will appear regardless of
whether the HP OfficeJet LX Manager is open or minimized.
You can change this setting at any time.

From the HP OfficeJet LX Manager menu bar, choose
File/Alert Options. The Alert Options dialog box appears.
You can choose to have the window appear when Errors
Occur
, when Warnings and Errors Occur, or Never. The
factory setting is Errors Occur.

Chapter 7 of this manual includes a listing of all the HP OfficeJet LX error messages that require response
from the user, together with recovery information. The same material is provided in the online help, which
also includes the messages that don't require response from the user.
