General

Beside widgets cab A+/Mach4 printers introducing another new feature concerning the setup of system messages. This configuration dialog is only available for A+-Series and Mach4 based printers and newer.

The configuration of all system messages takes place now in just one dialogue. This makes a configuration much easier to manage.

!Warning! Important: The system message configuration and network service configuration like SNMP and SMTP are separate. Each service can be enabled in the printers setup dialogue. Therefore, system messages can be setup but they have to be activated if it is desired to use them. !Warning!

The dialogue consists of one table. The messages are grouped into different section. Each section can be collapsed and expanded a needed like in the printer setup and how hinted in the figure of the dialogue. To store a configuration press "Transfer" button. The whole configurations will be saved. An Undo-mechanism is not given. The configuration image function can be used to backup a configuration.

The description column of the table tells the name of the alert. The content of the description is self-explaining. These cells can also be used to overtake a change instead of clicking an other cell to configure an other alert.

!Warning! Note: Changing the configuration of a section entry, like Warning, changes all downstream message entries in the same way. !Warning!
