prtInputNextIndex

Module: Printer-MIB

OID (symbolic): Printer-MIB::prtInputNextIndex

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.8.2.1.25

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: The value of prtInputIndex corresponding to the input subunit which will be used when this input subunit is emptied and the time-out specified by prtInputMediaLoadTimeout expires. A value of zero(0) indicates that auto input switching will not occur when this input subunit is emptied. If the time-out specified by prtInputLoadMediaTimeout expires and this value is zero(0), the job will be aborted. A value of (-1) means other. The value (-2)means 'unknown' and specifically indicates that an implementation specific method will determine the next input subunit to use at the time this subunit is emptied and the time out expires. The value(-3) means input switching is not supported for this subunit.

What is prtInputNextIndex?

This read-write value identifies which other input tray (by its prtInputIndex) the printer should automatically switch to once this tray runs empty and its load-media timeout expires; 0 means no auto-switch (the job aborts instead), -1 means other, -2 means an implementation-specific unknown method, and -3 means switching isn't supported for this tray. An admin configures this to chain Tray 1 to Tray 2 so a long print run doesn't stop just because one tray emptied.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.8.2.1.25
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Printer-MIB::prtInputNextIndex

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.8.2.1.25.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Printer-MIB::prtInputNextIndex.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.8.2.1.25.1 i <value>
