Class PrinterStateReason

public class PrinterStateReason
extends EnumSyntax
implements Attribute

Class PrinterStateReason is a printing attribute class, an enumeration, that provides additional information about the printer's current state, i.e., information that augments the value of the printer's PrinterState attribute. Class PrinterStateReason defines standard printer state reason values. A Print Service implementation only needs to report those printer state reasons which are appropriate for the particular implementation; it does not have to report every defined printer state reason.

Instances of PrinterStateReason do not appear in a Print Service's attribute set directly. Rather, a PrinterStateReasons attribute appears in the Print Service's attribute set. The PrinterStateReasons attribute contains zero, one, or more than one PrinterStateReason objects which pertain to the Print Service's status, and each PrinterStateReason object is associated with a Severity level of REPORT (least severe), WARNING, or ERROR (most severe). The printer adds a PrinterStateReason object to the Print Service's PrinterStateReasons attribute when the corresponding condition becomes true of the printer, and the printer removes the PrinterStateReason object again when the corresponding condition becomes false, regardless of whether the Print Service's overall PrinterState also changed.

IPP Compatibility: The string values returned by each individual PrinterStateReason and associated Severity object's toString() methods, concatenated together with a hyphen ("-") in between, gives the IPP keyword value for a PrinterStateReasons. The category name returned by getName() gives the IPP attribute name.

Fields

OTHER

public static final PrinterStateReason OTHER

The printer has detected an error other than ones listed below.

MEDIA_NEEDED

public static final PrinterStateReason MEDIA_NEEDED

A tray has run out of media.

MEDIA_JAM

public static final PrinterStateReason MEDIA_JAM

The device has a media jam.

MOVING_TO_PAUSED

public static final PrinterStateReason MOVING_TO_PAUSED

Someone has paused the printer, but the device(s) are taking an appreciable time to stop. Later, when all output has stopped, the PrinterState becomes STOPPED, and the PAUSED value replaces the MOVING_TO_PAUSED value in the PrinterStateReasons attribute. This value must be supported if the printer can be paused and the implementation takes significant time to pause a device in certain circumstances.

PAUSED

public static final PrinterStateReason PAUSED

Someone has paused the printer and the printer's PrinterState is STOPPED. In this state, a printer must not produce printed output, but it must perform other operations requested by a client. If a printer had been printing a job when the printer was paused, the Printer must resume printing that job when the printer is no longer paused and leave no evidence in the printed output of such a pause. This value must be supported if the printer can be paused.

SHUTDOWN

public static final PrinterStateReason SHUTDOWN

Someone has removed a printer from service, and the device may be powered down or physically removed. In this state, a printer must not produce printed output, and unless the printer is realized by a print server that is still active, the printer must perform no other operations requested by a client. If a printer had been printing a job when it was shut down, the printer need not resume printing that job when the printer is no longer shut down. If the printer resumes printing such a job, it may leave evidence in the printed output of such a shutdown, e.g. the part printed before the shutdown may be printed a second time after the shutdown.

CONNECTING_TO_DEVICE

public static final PrinterStateReason CONNECTING_TO_DEVICE

The printer has scheduled a job on the output device and is in the process of connecting to a shared network output device (and might not be able to actually start printing the job for an arbitrarily long time depending on the usage of the output device by other servers on the network).

TIMED_OUT

public static final PrinterStateReason TIMED_OUT

The server was able to connect to the output device (or is always connected), but was unable to get a response from the output device.

STOPPING

public static final PrinterStateReason STOPPING

The printer is in the process of stopping the device and will be stopped in a while. When the device is stopped, the printer will change the PrinterState to STOPPED. The STOPPING reason is never an error, even for a printer with a single output device. When an output device ceases accepting jobs, the printer's PrinterStateReasons will have this reason while the output device completes printing.

STOPPED_PARTLY

public static final PrinterStateReason STOPPED_PARTLY

When a printer controls more than one output device, this reason indicates that one or more output devices are stopped. If the reason's severity is a report, fewer than half of the output devices are stopped. If the reason's severity is a warning, half or more but fewer than all of the output devices are stopped.

TONER_LOW

public static final PrinterStateReason TONER_LOW

The device is low on toner.

TONER_EMPTY

public static final PrinterStateReason TONER_EMPTY

The device is out of toner.

SPOOL_AREA_FULL

public static final PrinterStateReason SPOOL_AREA_FULL

The limit of persistent storage allocated for spooling has been reached. The printer is temporarily unable to accept more jobs. The printer will remove this reason when it is able to accept more jobs. This value should be used by a non-spooling printer that only accepts one or a small number jobs at a time or a spooling printer that has filled the spool space.

COVER_OPEN

public static final PrinterStateReason COVER_OPEN

One or more covers on the device are open.

INTERLOCK_OPEN

public static final PrinterStateReason INTERLOCK_OPEN

One or more interlock devices on the printer are unlocked.

DOOR_OPEN

public static final PrinterStateReason DOOR_OPEN

One or more doors on the device are open.

INPUT_TRAY_MISSING

public static final PrinterStateReason INPUT_TRAY_MISSING

One or more input trays are not in the device.

MEDIA_LOW

public static final PrinterStateReason MEDIA_LOW

At least one input tray is low on media.

MEDIA_EMPTY

public static final PrinterStateReason MEDIA_EMPTY

At least one input tray is empty.

OUTPUT_TRAY_MISSING

public static final PrinterStateReason OUTPUT_TRAY_MISSING

One or more output trays are not in the device.

OUTPUT_AREA_ALMOST_FULL

public static final PrinterStateReason OUTPUT_AREA_ALMOST_FULL

One or more output areas are almost full (e.g. tray, stacker, collator).

OUTPUT_AREA_FULL

public static final PrinterStateReason OUTPUT_AREA_FULL

One or more output areas are full (e.g. tray, stacker, collator).

MARKER_SUPPLY_LOW

public static final PrinterStateReason MARKER_SUPPLY_LOW

The device is low on at least one marker supply (e.g. toner, ink, ribbon).

MARKER_SUPPLY_EMPTY

public static final PrinterStateReason MARKER_SUPPLY_EMPTY

The device is out of at least one marker supply (e.g. toner, ink, ribbon).

MARKER_WASTE_ALMOST_FULL

public static final PrinterStateReason MARKER_WASTE_ALMOST_FULL

The device marker supply waste receptacle is almost full.

MARKER_WASTE_FULL

public static final PrinterStateReason MARKER_WASTE_FULL

The device marker supply waste receptacle is full.

FUSER_OVER_TEMP

public static final PrinterStateReason FUSER_OVER_TEMP

The fuser temperature is above normal.

FUSER_UNDER_TEMP

public static final PrinterStateReason FUSER_UNDER_TEMP

The fuser temperature is below normal.

OPC_NEAR_EOL

public static final PrinterStateReason OPC_NEAR_EOL

The optical photo conductor is near end of life.

OPC_LIFE_OVER

public static final PrinterStateReason OPC_LIFE_OVER

The optical photo conductor is no longer functioning.

DEVELOPER_LOW

public static final PrinterStateReason DEVELOPER_LOW

The device is low on developer.

DEVELOPER_EMPTY

public static final PrinterStateReason DEVELOPER_EMPTY

The device is out of developer.

INTERPRETER_RESOURCE_UNAVAILABLE

public static final PrinterStateReason INTERPRETER_RESOURCE_UNAVAILABLE

An interpreter resource is unavailable (e.g., font, form).
