Description: Extends Xerox XCMI printer management with advanced media handling and finishing configuration objects.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is XEROX-PRINTER-EXT-MIB?

The XEROX-PRINTER-EXT-MIB is a Xerox Corporation proprietary MIB (part of the Xerox Common Management Interface, XCMI) that extends the standard IETF Printer MIB with Xerox-specific media-handling and finishing configuration objects for Xerox network printers and multifunction devices. It exposes base capability tables describing which standard Printer MIB groups and Xerox extension groups a given device supports, as well as general device configuration and driver-option objects. Its monitoring role centers on device configuration/software status: it lets management software discover which optional features (finishing, media trays, driver options) a specific printer model actually implements and whether those groups support creation or update operations, informing accurate feature-aware monitoring and configuration tools. It explicitly builds on and extends the IETF Printer MIB (RFC 1759), depending on it for the base printer object tree it augments. It is deployed on Xerox network printers and multifunction devices in enterprise office environments, and administrators can download the XEROX-PRINTER-EXT-MIB file to load it into their MIB browser or print-management tool.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in XEROX-PRINTER-EXT-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • Xerox network printer
  • Xerox multifunction device (MFD)

Monitoring Examples

A print-management tool queries xcmPrtBaseTable/xcmPrtBaseEntry to determine, via xcmPrtBaseIETFMIBGroupSupport and xcmPrtBaseGroupSupport, which standard and Xerox-extension MIB groups a specific printer model implements before attempting to poll them. It then checks xcmPrtGeneralTable/xcmPrtGeneralEntry for general device configuration and xcmPrtDriverOptions to confirm driver-level settings align with what the printer is actually capable of, avoiding failed polls against unsupported object groups on older Xerox models.

What Can Be Monitored

  • supported MIB group/feature capabilities
  • general printer configuration
  • driver option settings
  • media handling/finishing configuration
