Create, Change or Manage Error Profiles

 

What is an Error Profile ?

 

Error Profiles are there to check the Status of the Printers and to read out the Error Messages. To get that we read out a general Status, and upon the Answer, the Error Message is read. Most printers support a Standart SNMP OID for this Reason, which can report the following Status Informations:

We recommend to query only the down Status, because this is sufficient for most Situations. However you can also combine up to 3 different States.

 

A Second SNMP OID is needed to read out the Error Messages. For this Reason we use a MIB Tree Query, since the Information is located on different Places within the MIB Tree. To make sure, you get all the Messages, we query all Subdirectories, which contain Messages.

 

Are Error Profiles nessesary ?

 

No. Error Profiles are needed only, if you want to control the Error Status of your Printers.

 

How and when are Error Profiles used ?

 

Error Profiles can be assigned in the Printer Administration. If assigned, the Error Status will be queried at the same Time when the Consumable Query runs. If an Error is detected, an Email will be sent to the Addresses defined in the Program Administration. You can assign additional Email Addresses for each Printer.

 

 

Profiles can be created manually, by Import, or by copy. Exporting is also possible.
