printer-state-reasons (1setOf type2 keyword)

This Printer attribute supplies additional detail about the device’s state.

Each keyword value MAY have a suffix to indicate its level of

severity. The three levels are: report (least severe), warning, and error (most severe).

- ’-report’: This suffix indicates that the reason is a "report".

An implementation may choose to omit some or all reports. Some reports specify finer granularity about the printer state;

others serve as a precursor to a warning. A report MUST contain nothing that could affect the printed output.

- ’-warning’: This suffix indicates that the reason is a "warning".

An implementation may choose to omit some or all warnings.

Warnings serve as a precursor to an error. A warning MUST contain nothing that prevents a job from completing, though in some cases the output may be of lower quality.

- ’-error’: This suffix indicates that the reason is an "error".

An implementation MUST include all errors. If this attribute contains one or more errors, printer MUST be in the stopped state.

If the implementation does not add any one of the three suffixes, all parties MUST assume that the reason is an "error".

If a Printer object controls more than one output device, each value of this attribute MAY apply to one or more of the output devices. An error on one output device that does not stop the Printer object as a whole MAY appear as a warning in the Printer’s "printer-state-reasons attribute". If the "printer-state" for such a Printer has a value of ’stopped’, then there MUST be an error reason among the values in the "printer-state-reasons" attribute.

The following standard keyword values are defined:

’other’: The device has detected an error other than one listed in this document.

’none’: There are not reasons. This state reason is semantically equivalent to "printer-state-reasons" without any value.

’media-needed’: A tray has run out of media.

’media-jam’: The device has a media jam.

’paused’: Someone has paused the Printer object. In this state, a Printer MUST NOT produce printed output, but it MUST perform other operations requested by a client. If a Printer had been printing a job when the Printer was paused, the Printer MUST resume printing that job when the Printer is no longer paused and leave no evidence in the printed output of such a pause.

’shutdown’: Someone has removed a Printer object from service, and the device may be powered down or physically removed. In this state, a Printer object MUST NOT produce printed output, and

still active, the Printer object MUST perform no other operations requested by a client, including returning this value. If a Printer object had been printing a job when it was

’connecting-to-device’: The Printer object has scheduled a job on the output device and is in the process of connecting to a shared network output device (and might not be able to actually start printing the job for an arbitrarily long time depending on the usage of the output device by other servers on the network).

’timed-out’: The server was able to connect to the output device (or is always connected), but was unable to get a response from the output device.

’stopping’: The Printer object is in the process of stopping the device and will be stopped in a while. When the device is stopped, the Printer object will change the Printer object’s state to ’stopped’. The ’stopping-warning’ reason is never an error, even for a Printer with a single output device. When an output-device ceases accepting jobs, the Printer will have this reason while the output device completes printing.

’stopped-partly’: When a Printer object controls more than one output device, this reason indicates that one or more output

’spool-area-full’: The limit of persistent storage allocated for spooling has been reached.

’cover-open’: One or more covers on the device are open.

’interlock-open’: One or more interlock devices on the printer are unlocked.

’door-open’: One or more doors on the device are open.

’input-tray-missing’: One or more input trays are not in the device.

’media-low’: At least one input tray is low on media.

’media-empty’: At least one input tray is empty.

’output-tray-missing’: One or more output trays are not in the device

’output-area-almost-full’: One or more output area is almost full (e.g. tray, stacker, collator).

’output-area-full’: One or more output area is full. (e.g. tray, stacker, collator)

’marker-supply-low’: The device is low on at least one marker supply. (e.g. toner, ink, ribbon)

’marker-supply-empty: The device is out of at least one marker supply. (e.g. toner, ink, ribbon)

’marker-waste-almost-full’: The device marker supply waste receptacle is almost full.

’marker-waste-full’: The device marker supply waste receptacle is full.

’fuser-over-temp’: The fuser temperature is above normal.

’fuser-under-temp’: The fuser temperature is below normal.

’opc-near-eol’: The optical photo conductor is near end of life.

’opc-life-over’: The optical photo conductor is no longer functioning.

’developer-low’: The device is low on developer.

’developer-empty: The device is out of developer.

’interpreter-resource-unavailable’: An interpreter resource is unavailable (i.e. font, form)
