prtConsoleDisplayBufferText
Module: Printer-MIB
OID (symbolic): Printer-MIB::prtConsoleDisplayBufferText
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.16.5.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: PrtConsoleDescriptionStringTC
Access: read-write
Description: The content of a line in the logical display buffer of the operator's console of the printer. When a write operation occurs, normally a critical message, to one of the LineText strings, the agent should make that line displayable if a physical display is present. Writing a zero length string clears the line. It is an implementation- specific matter as to whether the agent allows a line to be overwritten before it has been cleared. Printer generated strings shall be in the localization specified by prtConsoleLocalization.Management Application generated strings should be localized by the Management Application.
What is prtConsoleDisplayBufferText?
This read-write string is one line of text in the printer's logical front-panel display buffer; writing to it (typically for a critical message) makes that line show on the physical display if one exists, and writing an empty string clears it. A management application can push a custom message, such as "Out of Cyan Toner - Contact IT", directly onto the printer's own display.
