Printer (Performance)

The Printer monitor uses SNMP to collect data on SNMP-enabled network printers. The target printer must be SNMP-enabled and support the Standard Printer MIB for this monitor to work properly. Use this monitor to check for potential issues such as ink levels, paper jams, and low input media (e.g., paper). The monitored printer must support the Standard Printer MIB.

Provide a unique name and description for the monitor, then configure the following:

• Ink/Toner Cartridge. Select the ink/toner cartridge from which to collect ink/toner level data. Please note, you must create a Printer performance monitor for each color ink/toner cartridge you want to monitor.
• Collection interval. Specify how often data should be collected from the selected toner cartridge.

Please note, all SNMP objects may or may not be supported by the specific printer being monitored depending on its manufacturer and model.
