Printer

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 (that is to say, "paper").

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

• If the ink level in any of the cartridges falls below___%. Enter a numerical value for the threshold. If the ink level of any printer ink cartridge falls below this percentage, the monitor is considered down. By default, this option is not selected.
• If the printer registers any of the following alerts. Select the printer alerts for the monitor to check. If the printer registers one of the selected alerts, the monitor is considered Down. Please note, all SNMP objects associated with the available monitor alert checks displayed in the monitor configuration may or may not be supported by the specific printer being monitored depending on its manufacturer and model.

Click Advanced to set the SNMP timeout and number of retries as well as enable Use in Rescan if desired.
