This value is a bitfield, matching the same bit layout as printerStatus (other error, paper out, I/O error, offline), that controls which of those status-bit transitions should trigger a printerTrap notification when they change, per the source description. An administrator sets specific bits here to be alerted only about the fault conditions they care about, rather than getting a trap for every status change. For example, setting only the paper-out bit in sendTrap would mean the device sends a printerTrap notification specifically when it runs out of paper, but not for other status bit changes.
