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.

N O T E

Phaser 350, 360, 550, and 560 printers support RFC 1759, The Printer MIB.

Phaser 740, 780, and 360 printers support SNMP traps within RFC 1759.

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.

Setting SNMP parameters using PhaserLink Printer Management Software

With a TCP/IP connection and a World Wide Web browser, you can use PhaserLink Printer Management Software to set host access. For more information on PhaserLink software, see Chapter 12, “PhaserLink Printer Management Software”.
