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 Indicates the availability of papers in all trays.   If paper is available in any of the trays, then the value of this measure is Yes. If the paper is not available in any of the trays, then the value of this measure is No.

The numeric values that correspond to these measure values have been listed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Yes 1
No 0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating whether paper is available or not. However, in the graph of this measure, the Measure Values will be represented using their corresponding numeric equivalents only.
Toner_capacity Indicates the status of the toner with respect to its capacity.   If the toner is adequately available, then the value of this measure is Adequate. If the toner is not adequate, then the value of this measure is Low.

The numeric values that correspond to these measure values have been listed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Adequate 1
Low 0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the status of the toner with respect to its capacity. However, in the graph of this measure, the Measure Values will be represented using their corresponding numeric equivalents only.
Toner_availability Indicates whether a toner is available for printing or not   If the toner is available for printing, then the value of this measure is Yes. If the the toner is not available, then the value of this measure is No.

The numeric values that correspond to these measure values have been listed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value Description
Yes 1 Confirms the physical presence of the toner cartridge and its availability for printing.
No 0
  1. The toner cartridge is not physically present in the printer
  2. The printer is out of toner

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating whether a toner is available for printing or not. However, in the graph of this measure, the Measure Values will be represented using their corresponding numeric equivalents only.
Paper_flow Indicates whether the flow of paper into and out of the printer is smooth.   If the flow of the paper is smooth, then the value reported for this measure is Normal. If the flow of the paper is obstucted, then the value reported for this measure is Paper jam.

The numeric values that correspond to these measure values have been listed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Normal 1
Paper jam 0

Note:
