There are four levels of severity:
Level 1 = Serious Fault. This is a serious error and immediate action is required.
Level 2 = Major Fault. Take action as soon as possible.

occasion.
Level 4 = Informational Alarm. No action is necessary.

those alarms that require action.
Turning off any levels here prevents printing only; all alarms are still
reported to the disk.
