Configure [SNMP]: Traps

26.5. Traps

Traps are used to monitor the printer and to report errors and attempts of unauthorized user access.

The kinds of traps which are generated are controlled on the Intermate1xx’s [SNMP] configuration page using the parame- ters Enable Authentication Traps (Default setting = No) and Enable SNMP Printer Traps (Default setting = No).

The receivers of the traps are specified with Trap Target (Default setting = >Blank<). The receiver’s community is set with Trap Community (Default setting = public).

The traps that can be generated based on printer events are listed below.
