Object

column SNMPv2-SMICounter32
Counts configuration changes within the printer. A
configuration change is defined to be an action that results in
a change to any MIB object other than those that reflect status
or level, or those that act as counters or gauges. In addition,
any action that results in a row being added or deleted from
any table in the Printer MIB is considered a configuration
change. Such changes will often affect the capability of the
printer to service certain types of print jobs. Management
applications may cache infrequently changed configuration
information about sub units within the printer. This object
should be incremented whenever the agent wishes to notify
management applications that any cached configuration
information for this device is to be considered 'stale'. At
this point, the management application should flush any
configuration information cached about this device and fetch
              
new configuration information.
              
The following are examples of actions that would cause the
prtGeneralConfigChanges object to be incremented:
              
- Adding an output bin
- Changing the media in a sensing input tray
- Changing the value of prtInputMediaType
              
Note that the prtGeneralConfigChanges counter would not be
incremented when an input tray is temporarily removed to load
additional paper or when the level of an input device changes.
              
NOTE: The above description has been modified from RFC 1759
for clarification.
