# Class CIM_PrintInterpreter
extends CIM_PrinterElement

This class represents the PrintInterpreter component of a Printer (print device). It contains properties that describe the PrintInterpreter, including language type, language level, maximum resolution, default input character set, and status. Note: A PrintInterpreter shall be associated with exactly one Printer via an instance of the PrinterComponent class. A PrintInterpreter may be associated with a PrintChannel (for Job Control Language or Page Description Language defaults) via an instance of AssociatedPrintInterpreter. 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 PrintInterpreter places no restrictions on addressability and FeedAddressability and XFeedAddressability shall be null. 2 (Unknown) means the PrintInterpreter does not have meaningful values and FeedAddressability and XFeedAddressability shall be null. 3 (Actual) means the PrintInterpreter does have meaningful values and FeedAddressability and XFeedAddressability shall be present.

AvailabilityStatus | uint32 |

Description

string

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

Description

string

The level of the language which this PrintInterpreter is interpreting or emulating. For example, this property might contain: (a) a value of '5e' for a PrinterInterpreter which is emulating level 5e of the PCL; (b) a value of '2' for a PrinterInterpreter which is emulating level 2 of the PostScript language; or (c) a value of '2' for a PrinterInterpreter which is emulating level 2 of the HPGL language.
