Configuring SNMP Monitoring of a Printer

You can configure Desigo CC to monitor a connected SNMP-capable printer for fault conditions such as paper jammed, offline, and so on. For background information and troubleshooting, see SNMP Printer and SNMP Troubleshooting.

  1. Select Project > Field Networks > [SNMP network].
  • The System Management tab displays.
  1. Click New and select New SNMP Printer.

Each SNMP printer inherits the same SNMP attributes. If the printer you are adding has different SNMP attributes, you must first create another SNMP network, and then add this printer.
