SNMP (UNIX systems only)
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) allows you to use an SNMP
monitoring station to query the printer remotely for its status. You can provide the
following information for the printer to send to your SNMP utility:
■ Printer's name.
■ Name of contact person for printer problems.
■ Printer's location.
■ Phaser 740, 780, and 360 printers. Trap host's IP or IPX address. Members
of this list receive asynchronous SNMP traps (error and status messages)
from the printer.
■ Phaser 380, 350, 340, 560, 550, 540, and 600 printers. Trap host's IP address
and community name. Members of this list receive asynchronous SNMP
traps (error and status messages) from the printer.
There are two ways to set SNMP parameters:
■ With a TCP/IP connection and a World Wide Web browser, you can use
PhaserLink Printer Management Software. See “Setting SNMP parameters
using PhaserLink Printer Management Software” on page 81.
■ Send the appropriate PostScript file to the printer. See “Setting SNMP
parameters using a PostScript utility file” on page 82.
