Conguring a marker
Markers can be used to trigger a purge, which removes les from the overlay.
NOTE: The event is triggered when the available overlay size is equal to or more than the specied marker
size.
When the Warning marker is reached, a warning message is displayed. When the Critical marker is reached, a
countdown to a Windows restart is displayed.
To congure the markers:
1. Open the HP Write Manager Conguration app, and select More Settings.
2. In the Markers tab, set the size (in MB) of the Warning and Critical markers. Overlay size is also
displayed, but size can not be modied while in the Markers tab. To modify overlay size, see Increase the
default maximum limit for overlay on page 3.
