Status tab
The Status tab in the Printer Properties dialog contains the status of the device connected
to the driver and the status of a specified tray. To get the current status of a specified tray,
use the scrollbars to select the tray. The following status should be available:
Paper Tray levels - displays the current level of paper in the printer trays in
increments of 0, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%,
Paper Size in each tray,
Paper Type in each tray, and
An icon that displays the overall status of bidirectional communication.
The frame box displays the status of the bidirectional communication and the status of the
device connected to the driver. If bidirectional communication is established with the
device and there are no error conditions, the status of the device should reflect Ready.
There are five different error conditions associated with bidirectional communication:
1. If bidirectional status is established with the device and the device connected does
not match the printer driver, the following message appears:
Device status is not available at this time!
The print device does not match your print driver. Please
contact your system administrator.
You can still print to the device; however, any status received from the device is
ignored.
2. If the device is not responding possibly due to being powered off or disconnected, the
following message displays:
Device status is not available at this time!
The print device is not responding.
Depending on the error condition, you may still be able to print to the connected
device.
3. If the bidirectional communication is disabled from the Configuration tab, the
following message is shown:
Device status is not available at this time!
Bidirectional communications is not enabled on the port.
You should still be able to print to the connected device.
4. If the bidirectional communication is enabled, but the device is attached to a
non-bidirectional port, the following message displays:
Device status is not available at this time!
The printer is not connected to a bidirectional port.
You should still be able to print to the connected device.
5. If the Port Monitor is not installed on the local machine or server, or communication
could not be established with the server, the following message appears:
Device status is not available at this time!
The print server is not responding, or the Xerox TCP/IP
port monitor is not installed on the print server.
You should still be able to print to the connected device.
