Module: CLJ8500-MIB

OID (symbolic): CLJ8500-MIB::prtgeneralcurrentoperator

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.9.4.2.2.5.1.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Access: read-write

Description: The name of the person who is responsible for operating this printer. It is suggested that this string include information that would enable other humans to reach the operator, such as a phone number. As a convention to facilitate automatic notification of the operator by the agent or the network management station, the phone number, fax number or email address should be placed on a separate line starting with ASCII LF (hex 0x0A) and the ASCII text string (without the quotes): 'phone: ', 'fax: ', and 'email: ', respectively. Phone numbers may contain digits, whitespace and parentheses, which shall be ignored. Phone numbers may also include ASCII comma characters(hex 2C) that are used to indicate a two-second pause during the dialing sequence. If either the phone, fax, or email information is not available, then a line should not be included for this information. NOTE: For interoperability purposes, it is advisable to use email addresses formatted according to RFC 822 requirements. Additional information: Replaces PML SYSTEM-CONTACT. The maximum supported string length is 32 characters. If the user entered string is too long, the device will store as much as possible and will return the status. This object is saved in NVRAM.

What is prtgeneralcurrentoperator?

This read-write octet string, limited to 32 characters, stores the name and optionally contact details like a phone number on a separate line, of the person currently responsible for operating the printer. It gives a monitoring system or a nearby user a way to find out who to contact about routine operational issues, like reloading paper, just by reading this one field over SNMP. For example, a help desk technician troubleshooting a reported printer issue remotely could read prtgeneralcurrentoperator to get the extension of the on-site operator to call for a physical check.
