1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.9.4.2.1.1.2.5
To bring the PDL processing sub-system on or off line.
If the device is a printer, then the printer does not
process print job data when the printer is off line.
PML communication persists.
Additional information:
When the printer is in the Offline state,
printing will stop as soon as possible (no more sheets
of media are pulled from input trays). The I/O
is taken offline.
Setting to eOnline has the following effect:
Printer will immediately go to or remain in the Online
state; <noError> status is returned.
If the printer's current state
is Offline with a pending error condition that
prevents the printer from going to the Online
state, the printer will remain in the Offline state;
<genErr> status is returned
Setting to eOffline has the following effect:
Printer will immediately go to or remain in the
Offline state; <noError> status is returned.
If pages are being printed, those pages will complete
with the printer in the Offline state.
Setting to eOfflineAtEndOfJob has the following
affect:
If not in a job or already in the Offline state, the
printer will immediately go to or remain in the
Offline state; <noError> status is returned.
If in a job and the current state is Online, the
printer will remain in the Online state, with the
value of this object as eOfflineAtEndOfJob, until the
end of the job; <noError> status is returned. At the end of
the job, the printer goes to the Offline state and the
value of this object becomes eOffline.
Setting this object to eOffline or eOnline before the
end of the job causes the action for that value to be
taken immediately.
