prtInputMaxCapacity

Module: Printer-MIB

OID (symbolic): Printer-MIB::prtInputMaxCapacity

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.8.2.1.9

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: The maximum capacity of the input sub-unit in input sub-unit capacity units (PrtCapacityUnitTC). There is no convention associated with the media itself so this value reflects claimed capacity. If this input sub-unit can reliably sense this value, the value is sensed by the printer and may not be changed by management requests; otherwise, the value may be written (by a Remote Control Panel or a Management Application). The value (-1) means other and specifically indicates that the sub-unit places no restrictions on this parameter. The value (-2) means unknown.

What is prtInputMaxCapacity?

This value reports (or, on trays without sensing hardware, lets an admin configure) the maximum media capacity of an input tray in the capacity units defined by the tray's PrtCapacityUnitTC; -1 means other/no restriction, -2 means unknown. It's used to let management software estimate how much paper a tray can hold before it needs refilling.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.8.2.1.9
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Printer-MIB::prtInputMaxCapacity

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.8.2.1.9.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Printer-MIB::prtInputMaxCapacity.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.8.2.1.9.1 i <value>
