Alerts tab
The Alerts tab allows you to configure the printer to automatically notify you of printer alerts, with
links to the following main pages:
Set up status alerts
Choose to turn alerts on or off, specify when the printer should send an alert, and
choose from two different types of alerts:
• Pop-up messages
• Task bar icons
Click Apply to activate the settings.
Administrative settings
Determine how often toolbox checks for printer alerts. Three settings are available:
• Once per minute (every 60 seconds)
• Twice per minute (every 30 seconds)

If you want to reduce network I/O traffic, reduce the frequency that the printer
checks for alerts.
