If you are using HTML format, a URL or email address link that is directly specified in the message text will not be set. You can set a link tag to set a link. Clicking the link starts the default browser or email program. If you specify a character or symbol before or after the URL or email address, that character or symbol may also be included in the link.

Read

The Read JP1/Software Distribution Message dialog box appears. Using this dialog box, you can load a message text from the selected file in text format or HTML format. As long as the file to be read is in text or HTML format, there is no restriction on the extension.

If the number of characters to be loaded from the file exceeds the number of characters specifiable for the message test, only the character string that fits within the limit is loaded.

Preview

The content specified on the Report Message page is displayed in the message dialog box in the default size, enabling you to check how the message dialog box will appear at the job destination. For details about the formats of the displayed dialog boxes, see 2.13.3(1) Checking the displayed messages in the manual Description and Planning Guide.

If you loaded a text format file from the message dialog box that was displayed when you clicked the Preview button, and if you then click a character string in which a link has been set, the browser or mailer will not be started.

If you loaded an HTML format file, the default is that clicking a string in which a link has been set will start and display the specified browser.

• An image file cannot be reported.
• If a message in HTML format is reported to a client that uses version 08-00 or earlier, the HTML tags in the message will be displayed as part of the character string in text format. If the number of characters exceeds 65,000 including the HTML tag characters, the client may not display any of the message.
