Measures reported by PrinterErrorTest

The PrinterErrorTest indicates whether a particular measure generates a Critical warning or a Non-critical warning. A Critical warning is indicative of a problem so severe, that the printer is rendered unavailable until the warning is attended to. A Non-critical warning is one wherein the printer will continue to remain available despite the warning. 

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Paper_availability Critical warning

Indicates the availability of papers in all trays

Boolean A value of 0 indicates that there are no papers  in any of the trays.  If the value is 1, it means that papers are available in at least one tray.
Toner_capacity Non-critical warning

Indicates the status of the toner with respect to its capacity

Boolean A value of  0 indicates that the toner capacity is low. However, if the value is 1 it indicates that there is adequate toner in the printer.
Toner_availability Critical warning

Indicates whether a toner is available for printing or not

Boolean A value of 0 is indicative of either of the following scenarios:
  1. The toner cartridge is not physically present in the printer
  2. The printer is out of toner

A value of 1, on the other hand, confirms the physical presence of the toner cartridge and its availability for printing.

Paper_flow Critical warning

Indicates whether the flow of paper into and out of the printer is smooth

Boolean A value of 0 indicates that there is a paper jam and a value of 1 indicates that  the paper flow is smooth
On_line Critical warning

Indicates whether the printer is on line or off line.

Boolean A value of 0 indicates that the printer is off line. If the value is 1, it denotes that the printer is on line
Door_closed Critical warning

Indicates the overall status of the doors/covers present in the printer

Note:

This measure is available only for printers with doors / covers.

Boolean While a value of 0 indicates that the door is open, 1 indicates that it is closed.
