Description: This object represents any error conditions detected by the printer. The error conditions are encoded as bits in an octet string, with the following definitions:

Condition Bit # clntDeviceStatus

lowPaper 0 warning(3) noPaper 1 down(5) lowToner 2 warning(3) noToner 3 down(5) doorOpen 4 down(5) jammed 5 down(5) offline 6 down(5) serviceRequested 7 warning(3)

If multiple conditions are currently detected and the clntDeviceStatus would not otherwise be unknown(1) or testing(4), the clntDeviceStatus shall correspond to the worst state of those indicated, where down(5) is worse than warning(3) which is worse than running(2).

Bits are numbered starting with the most significant bit of the first byte being bit 0, the least significant bit of the first byte being bit 7, the most significant bit of the second byte being bit 8, and so on. A one bit encodes that the condition was detected, while a zero bit encodes that the condition was not detected.

This object is useful for alerting an operator to specific warning or error conditions that may occur, especially those requiring human intervention.
