# Class CIM_PrintMarker
extends CIM_PrinterElement

This class represents the PrintMarker component of a Printer (print device). It contains properties that describe the PrintMarker technology, capabilities, counters, and status. Note: A PrintMarker shall be associated with exactly one Printer via an instance of the PrinterComponent class. See: Model in section 2 of Printer MIB (RFC 3805).

AddressabilityBasis | uint16 |

Description

string

The basis for the limit properties FeedAddressability and XFeedAddressability, that specifies whether meaningful values are available. 1 (Other) means the PrintMarker places no restrictions on addressability and FeedAddressability and XFeedAddressability shall be null. 2 (Unknown) means the PrintMarker does not have meaningful values and FeedAddressability and XFeedAddressability shall be null. 3 (Actual) means the PrintMarker does have meaningful values and FeedAddressability and XFeedAddressability shall be present.

AvailabilityStatus | uint32 |

Description

string

This property contains detailed availability information for this PrintMarker, as follows: 1 (Other) means other detailed availability information is present in the OtherAvailabilityStatus property. 2 (Unknown) means detailed availability information for this PrintMarker is unknown. 3 (AvailableIdle) means this PrintMarker is available and idle, i.e., not currently in use. 4 (AvailableStandy) means this PrintMarker is available but on standby, e.g., in a power saving mode. 5 (AvailableActive) means this PrintMarker is available and active, i.e., currently in use. 6 (AvailableBusy) means this PrintMarker is available but busy, i.e., not immediately available for its primary function. 7 (UnavailableOnRequest) means this PrintMarker is not available and is on request, i.e., needs human intervention. 8 (UnavailableBroken) means this PrintMarker is not available and is broken, e.g., needs repair/replacement.

Description

string

Denotes whether or not this PrintMarker is the default PrintMarker for this Printer. If the default PrintMarker feature is not supported for this Printer, then this property shall be null. If the default PrintMarker feature is supported for this Printer, then this property shall be true for at most one instance of CIM_PrintMarker on this Printer, i.e., the default may not be currently configured.
