Description: The sub-unit location that is defined by the printer manufacturer to further refine the location of this alert within the designated sub-unit. The location is used in conjunction with the Group and GroupIndex values; for example, there is an alert in Input #2 at location number 7. The value (-2) indicates unknown.

NOTE: The above description has been modified from RFC 1759 for clarification.

What is prtAlertLocation?

This read-only value gives a manufacturer-defined location code that further pinpoints where within a sub-unit an alert occurred, used alongside prtAlertGroup and prtAlertGroupIndex; -2 means unknown. For example, it might identify "location 7" within Input tray #2 as exactly where a jam sensor tripped.
