SNMP tab (Device Configuration)

Use options on this tab to configure updates Output Manager destinations that are auto-detected SNMP devices.

You can determine whether the Output Manager SNMP Service will automatically update destinations that are auto-detected SNMP devices. The service can update dynamic, static, and meter values. Dynamic values are values that can change while the printer is being used, such as out of paper and low on toner. Static values are values that do not change or change very infrequently, such as the printers name and IP address. In most cases, updating static values is less important than updating dynamic values, as static values change less frequently. Dynamic value updates are needed to maintain timely alerts so a device can stay operational. Meter values track information about how many copies, prints, faxes, scans, and so forth have been made.
