MIB
An MIB contains information a device makes available through
SNMP. The MIB is a management information base that describes
information about actual objects to be managed and controlled.
Standards Of Network Printer MIBs
The Printer MIB is based on the following standards:
• System and Interfaces Group MIB (RFC 1213 of March 1991)
• Host Resource MIB (RFC 1514 of September 1993)
• Printer MIB (RFC 1759 of March 1995)
• Ethernet contains the Standard Printer MIB per RFC 1759,
available from www.ietf.org.
Components Of The Printer MIB
The printer MIB gives the network manager access to most of the
information that is normally accessible through the Ethernet
Interface command set for configuring the server with SNMP. Some
objects identified by this MIB are not applicable to the Ethernet
Interface.
The printer MIB is composed of the following sections:
• General
• Cover
• Localization
• Input
• Output
• Marker
• Media Path
• Channel
