Note: This dialogue is only available for A-Series and M-Series printers.
With introducing A+-Series and Mach4 we implemented a combined message system.
A cab printer with a TCP/IP network connection offers the possibility to send an E-mail on predefined events. To use the feature you have to tell the printer the E-mail (SMTP) server's IP address. After setting up the IP address the E-mail Alert is activated.
The next step will be to configure the dependency of events and messages to be sent. Go to menu bar /Tools/EAlert to open E-mail Alert window (Picture 1). In the first half of the window you see a table with dependencies entries already set up. To close the window press "Close" button.
Make sure a return address is set. Without return address set no E-mails will be send. The return address is the fall back address for your SMTP server if an entered address was invalid.

Tip: Already chosen events in the event list are black. Not selected events are marked grey,
see Picture 2.

Setting up an event/E-mail dependency is easy. Just enter the desired E-mail address, either by typing in the E-mail text field or by selecting an address out of the dependency list. Then choose an event from the event list on the left side of the E-mail text field. Press the "Set" button to apply your settings.
To delete a dependency, select it in the list and press "Delete" button. It is also possible to delete the selected entry by the tables pop-up menu. Please wait until updating the list is done.
To change a dependency, just set a new one - see Setting up.
By just pressing the "Image" button or selecting the "Image" menu item a setup configuration will be created. For more detailed information about configurations and how to synchronise printer parameter refer to configuration synchronisation.
