The AXIS MIB The AXIS MIB contains a large number of objects which may be
categorized as follows:
• Menu objects - used for viewing and changing the Axis Network Print
Server configuration from the NMS program. Refer to
The Parameter

, on page 137.

Axis Network Print Server print jobs and storing parameter changes
permanently.
• Trap objects - used for alarms at various error conditions.
For technical details, you can view the MIB file (axis.mib) with any text

SNMP Device Index When using the TCP/IP protocol (and if the printer driver permits), the
print server can use SNMP Status to find out if the printer is ready to
accept a new job. See “SNMP Device Index” on page 158.
