FASTCNFG POLLTYPE Keyword for HP JetDirect
Printers
ONLINEMODE = NO | YES | EOJ | BOTH
Default is NO, which should only be changed on advice of support. If YES or
BOTH, the printer SNMP status will be queried before printing; if the printer is not
ready, the job will be requeued. If EOJ or BOTH, the printer SNMP status will be
queried after all job data is sent, but before TCP FIN (shutdown) is sent. If the
printer is busy, the query is repeated after a POLLINT delay.
FASTCNFG POLLTYPE Keyword for HP JetDirect Printers
Beginning with the G06.10 and D48.02 RVUs, in addition to the DEVICE, DEFAULT,
and HOSTS keywords, each FASTPTCP FASTCNFG file for HP JetDirect printers can
optionally contain a POLLTYPE keyword entry. The POLLTYPE entry defines a
POLLTYPE record to control interpretation of SNMP responses. Essentially, this
feature allows you to determine whether FASTPTCP performs MIB-II SysUpTime
processing and how FASTPTCP maps SNMP printer responses to Guardian file error
codes and EMS operator messages.
The syntax for a FASTCNFG POLLTYPE entry is as follows:
where
polltype-name
specifies the name used to uniquely identify the POLLTYPE record. The name
specified can consist of from 1 to 16 letters and numbers. This value is referenced
by the DEVICE attribute POLLTYPENAME.
If a name of HPJETDIRECT is specified, you can supplement the internal default
table (described below); only the new RESPONSE entry or entries need to be
specified. In addition, if the actual response from the printer does not match any
RESPONSE specified, the search continues using the RESPONSEs defined in the
internal default table.
UPTIME = YES|NO
specifies whether FASTPTCP performs MIB-II SysUpT
ime processing.
If UPTIME=YES, at the beginning of a print job, after TCP socket connect has
completed, but before any data is transferred, FASTPTCP requests MIB-II
SysUpTime. After SNMP polling is completed and the print job appears to be
completely printed, FASTPTCP again requests MIB-II SysUpTime. If the second
