prtInputMediaType
Module: Printer-MIB
OID (symbolic): Printer-MIB::prtInputMediaType
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.8.2.1.21
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: OCTET STRING
Access: read-write
Description: The name of the type of medium associated with this input sub unit. This name need not be processed by the printer; it might simply be displayed to an operator.
NOTE: The above description has been modified from RFC 1759.
What is prtInputMediaType?
This read-write string names the type of media loaded in an input tray, such as "Plain", "Glossy", or "Envelope"; the printer doesn't interpret the value itself, it's just displayed to an operator or matched against job requests. An admin sets this per tray so a print job requesting "Glossy" paper gets routed to the correct source tray.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.8.2.1.21 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Printer-MIB::prtInputMediaType
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.8.2.1.21.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Printer-MIB::prtInputMediaType.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.8.2.1.21.1 s <value>
