Module: CLJ8500-MIB

OID (symbolic): CLJ8500-MIB::prtgeneralreset

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.9.4.2.2.5.1.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Setting this value to `powerCycleReset', `resetToNVRAM', or `resetToFactoryDefaults' will result in the resetting of the printer. When read, this object will always have the value `notResetting(3)', and a SET of the value `notResetting' shall have no effect on the printer. Some of the defined values are optional. However, every implementation must support at least the values `notResetting' and 'resetToNVRAM'. Additional information: Replaces PML USER-NVRAM-RESET and POWER-ON-RESET. All resets follow the same sequence of events except that a a value of ePresetToFactoryDefaults first makes a call to reset the NVRAM to factory defaults. Then, the following sequence of events occur: 1. A delay is initiated while a reply is returned to the requestor indicating OK. 2. The printer goes off-line. 3. The control panel is disabled. 4. The paper path is flushed. 5. The printer is reset per the request. The printer will respond to PML requests up to this point in time. Setting this object to ePpowerCycleReset causes CLJ8500 to perform its power on initialization routines. I/O cards are reset (NVRAM on the cards is not changed; all I/O buffers are flushed). The tests normally run at power on time are executed. Setting this object to ePresetToNVRAM causes the printer to reset itself to its power on state without doing its normal power on testing. The I/O cards are not reset and I/O buffers remain intact. Setting this object to ePresetToFactoryDefaults causes the same action as a Cold Reset operation performed at the control panel (except power on testing is not performed).

What is prtgeneralreset?

This read-write integer lets an admin remotely trigger a printer reset by writing one of the defined values, a power-cycle reset, a reset back to settings saved in NVRAM, or a full reset to factory defaults, and every implementation, including the CLJ8500, is required to support at least the notResetting and resetToNVRAM values. Reading it always returns notResetting regardless of what was last written, since the object represents an action to take rather than a persistent state. For example, an admin who wants to undo a batch of misconfigured settings could set prtgeneralreset to resetToNVRAM to revert the printer back to its last saved configuration without needing physical access to it.
