Overview

Printer States

For the selected printer group, the status bar displays the percentage (%) of printers that fall into the

following printer states:

• OK (good health/

)

•

Warning (warning/

)

•

Critical (critical/ )

A printer is categorized into red, yellow, or green states based on the following criteria:

• Red:

• Unable to print (printer is offline, indicating that printer is not ready to print)
• No connection (unable to ping the printer during the last polling session)
• Printer is down (printer is switched off, hardware failure, software failure, and so on)

• Yellow: Able to print. At least one consumable (C, M, Y, K, Imaging Drum, Fuser, Roller, input paper

tray) is below threshold

• Green: Able to print (no printer errors)

NOTE:

You can hide the printer status bar if required.

NOTE:

In case of multiple imaging drum printers, the printer state depends on the level of all the imaging drums.

That is, only if the levels of all the imaging drums are above threshold, the printer state appears in green.
