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-SIMPLE-JOB-MGMT-MIB?

XEROX-SIMPLE-JOB-MGMT-MIB is a Xerox MIB implementing a lightweight subset of the XCMI job-management model, based on the ISO Document Printing Application and POSIX print-interface standards, for managing print jobs on network-attached Xerox printers. It exposes job-level data through a job base table describing job creation/update/group support capabilities and a job-management table used to submit operations to a job -- such as pausing (jobPause) or resuming (jobResume) it via xcmSimpleJobMgmtOperation -- and retrieve its resulting status. Its monitoring emphasis is on software/service status specific to the print pipeline: tracking whether a submitted job's operation succeeded, retrieving job status codes, and confirming which job-management capabilities (create, update, group) the device supports. It explicitly derives from and depends on the ISO 10175 Document Printing Application and IEEE 1387.4 POSIX print-interface standards referenced in its module description. It is deployed on Xerox network printers and multifunction devices in office and print-server environments needing simple, standards-aligned remote job control.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in XEROX-SIMPLE-JOB-MGMT-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.

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll xcmSimpleJobMgmtTable/xcmSimpleJobMgmtEntry to submit a job control action via xcmSimpleJobMgmtOperation and xcmSimpleJobMgmtData, then read back xcmSimpleJobMgmtStatus to confirm whether the operation (e.g., job hold, cancel, release) succeeded or failed. Checking xcmSimpleJobBaseGroupSupport, xcmSimpleJobBaseCreateSupport, and xcmSimpleJobBaseUpdateSupport in xcmSimpleJobBaseTable reveals which job-management capabilities this particular printer implements before attempting an operation. A job stuck with a persistent non-success xcmSimpleJobMgmtStatus would indicate the printer is failing to process submitted job commands, worth escalating as a print-queue fault.

Usage: XCMI conforming management agents MAY choose to REJECT any attempt at row creation in the 'xcmSimpleJobInterceptTable' which specifies a value for 'xcmSimpleJobInterceptClientId' that does NOT conform to the 'XcmGlobalUniqueID' format (therefore cannot be appended onto the trap OID for any job-related traps). Usage: XCMI conforming management agents MAY choose to ACCEPT any attempt at row creation in the 'xcmSimpleJobInterceptTable' which specifies a value for 'xcmSimpleJobInterceptClientId' that is nonetheless unique in the scope of the managed system (but not append it onto the trap OID for any job-related traps). Usage: XCMI conforming management stations (ie, clients) shall ALWAYS submit an 'xcmJobClientId' in 'XcmGlobalUniqueID' format. XCMI conforming management agents (ie, servers and devices) shall ALWAYS append such an 'xcmJobClientId' onto the trap OID for any job-related traps. Usage: Non-XCMI conforming management stations (ie, clients) MAY submit a non-unique 'xcmJobClientId', although they may be otherwise strictly conformant DPA (ISO 10175) clients.

T/F xcmSimpleJobInterceptInProgress	1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.76.4.2.1.6	TruthValue	read-only	The simple job intercept in progress status associated with this conceptual row in 'xcmSimpleJobInterceptTable'. Usage: Conforming management agents SHALL 'reject' any SNMP Set-Operation to 'xcmSimpleJobIntercept[Operation\|Data]' while another management operation is already in progress (ie, while 'xcmSimpleJobInterceptInProgress' is 'true'), with 'badValue' (SNMPv1) or 'inconsistentValue' (SNMPv2/v3).
XCM xcmSimpleJobInterceptOperation	1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.76.4.2.1.3	XcmSimpleJobMgmtOperation	read-create	The simple job intercept operation specified for this conceptual row in the 'xcmSimpleJobInterceptTable' and the 'xcmJobClientId' object (XCMI Job Monitoring MIB).

Usage: Conforming management stations SHALL set 'xcmSimpleJobInterceptOperation' (mgmt operation) and 'xcmSimpleJobInterceptData' (mgmt arguments) SIMULTANEOUSLY (in the same SNMP Set-Operation PDU).
ROW xcmSimpleJobInterceptRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.76.4.2.1.2	RowStatus	read-create	This object is used to create and destroy individual conceptual rows in 'xcmSimpleJobInterceptTable'.
XCM xcmSimpleJobInterceptStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.76.4.2.1.5	XcmGenSNMPv2ErrorStatus	read-only	The simple job intercept error status associated with this conceptual row in 'xcmSimpleJobInterceptTable'. Usage: Conforming management agents shall ALWAYS set this object to the value returned in an SNMP Set-Response PDU when a simple job intercept operation is 'accepted', ie, when 'xcmSimpleJobInterceptInProgress' goes from 'false' to 'true'. Usage: Conforming management agents shall ALWAYS set this object to the value of the completion status of the (possibly deferred) simple job intercept operation, when 'xcmSimpleJobInterceptInProgress' goes from 'true' to 'false'.
xcmSimpleJobInterceptTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.76.4.2		not-accessible	A table which is indexed by the future 'xcmJobClientId' in the XCMI Job Monitoring MIB, to support simple job intercept requests for upstream jobs (off this host system).
xcmSimpleJobInterceptV1EventOID	1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.76.4.1			The value of the enterprise-specific OID in an SNMPv1 trap sent whenever an 'xcmSimpleJobInterceptOperation' completes. See SNMPv2 trap definition 'xcmSimpleJobInterceptV2Event' below for 'special semantics'.
NTF xcmSimpleJobInterceptV2Event	1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.76.4.1.0.1			This trap is sent whenever an 'XcmSimpleJobInterceptOperation' completes. Note: The variable-bindings of this trap have been chosen to specify a complete job intercept operation result while keeping trap messages reasonably concise (generally a few hundred octets at most). This notification has the following special semantics: o If 'xcmSimpleJobInterceptClientId' is non-empty and it is a valid 'XcmGlobalUniqueID' representation, its value shall ALWAYS be appended to this trap object ID, as a BER binary OID suffix. Note: The BER binary OID suffix shall NOT include the BER tag of 6 indicating an OID and shall NOT include the BER length field in octets of the OID suffix. This trap OID qualifier allows job-submission and job-monitoring applications to limit the alerts they receive to ones generated by jobs which they have submitted. Note: The sum of the trap varBind values must be less than can fit into a PDU on any transport, roughly 540 octets on some transports. Thus implementors are warned to minimize the length of the 'xcmJobClientId' and 'xcmJobIdentifierOnSystem' objects.

Usage: Conforming management agents SHALL 'reject' any SNMP Set-Operation to 'xcmSimpleJobMgmt[Operation\|Data]' while another management operation is already in progress (ie, while 'xcmSimpleJobMgmtInProgress' is 'true'), with 'badValue' (SNMPv1) or 'inconsistentValue' (SNMPv2/v3). Usage: Conforming management stations SHALL set 'xcmSimpleJobMgmtOperation' (mgmt operation) and 'xcmSimpleJobMgmtData' (mgmt arguments) SIMULTANEOUSLY (in the same SNMP Set-Operation PDU). Usage: Performing 'delete' (system operator) shall ALWAYS force 'xcmJobCurrentState' to 'completed(17)' immediately, and MAY affect 'xcmJobAccountingBasicRowStatus'. Usage: Performing 'remove' (user cancel) shall ALWAYS force 'xcmJobCurrentState' to 'completed(17)' in a timely fashion, but shall NOT affect 'xcmJobAccountingBasicRowStatus'.
XCM xcmSimpleJobMgmtStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.76.3.2.1.3	XcmGenSNMPv2ErrorStatus	read-only	The simple job management error status associated with this conceptual row in 'xcmSimpleJobMgmtTable'. Usage: Conforming management agents shall ALWAYS set this object to the value returned in an SNMP Set-Response PDU when a simple job management operation is 'accepted', ie, when 'xcmSimpleJobMgmtInProgress' goes from 'false' to 'true'. Usage: Conforming management agents shall ALWAYS set this object to the value of the completion status of the (possibly deferred) simple job management operation, when 'xcmSimpleJobMgmtInProgress' goes from 'true' to 'false'.

Note: The 'hrDeviceIndex' is included for convenience, even though the IETF Printer MIB doesn't include 'hrDeviceIndex' in its traps. Then the management station doesn't have to parse the received varBind OIDs on a trap in order to discover which device trapped. Note: The variable-bindings of this trap have been chosen to specify a complete job management operation result while keeping trap messages reasonably concise (generally a few hundred octets at most). This notification has the following special semantics: o If the job's 'xcmJobClientId' field is non-empty and it is a valid 'XcmGlobalUniqueID' representation, its value shall ALWAYS be appended to this trap object ID, as a BER binary OID suffix.

FAQ

What is XEROX-SIMPLE-JOB-MGMT-MIB used for in a print monitoring setup?
It provides a lightweight way to track print jobs on Xerox devices — job identifiers, basic status, and simple operations like starting or canceling a job — without needing the full detail of the Xerox Job Monitoring MIB. It's useful when you just need a quick health check on job throughput across many networked printers, for example in a helpdesk dashboard that flags any device with a large number of stuck jobs.

I'm polling several Xerox printers and getting timeouts against this MIB's job table — what's a likely cause?
The job table can grow large on high-volume devices such as production print rooms, and some agents respond slowly to a full table walk when hundreds of historical job entries are still cached. Try polling a narrower range of job identifiers or increasing your SNMP timeout/retry settings, and check whether the device supports clearing completed jobs from its internal history to keep the table size manageable.
