# Class CIM_PrintChannel
extends CIM_PrinterElement

This class represents the PrintChannel component of a Printer (print device). It contains properties that describe the print protocol type and version and the status of the PrintChannel. Note: A PrintChannel shall be associated with exactly one Printer via an instance of the PrinterComponent class. A PrintChannel may be associated with a PrintInterpreter (for Job Control Language or Page Description Language defaults) via an instance of AssociatedPrintInterpreter. See: Model in section 2 of Printer MIB (RFC 3805).

--- | --- | --- | ---
Name | Data Type | Value
AvailabilityStatus | uint32 |
Description | string | This property contains detailed availability information for this PrintChannel, as follows: 1 (Other) means other detailed availability information is present in the OtherAvailabilityStatus property. 2 (Unknown) means detailed availability information for this PrintChannel is unknown. 3 (AvailableIdle) means this PrintChannel is available and idle, i.e., not currently in use. 4 (AvailableStandy) means this PrintChannel is available but on standby, e.g., in a power saving mode. 5 (AvailableActive) means this PrintChannel is available and active, i.e., currently in use. 6 (AvailableBusy) means this PrintChannel is available but busy, i.e., not immediately available for its primary function. 7 (UnavailableOnRequest) means this PrintChannel is not available and is on request, i.e., needs human intervention. 8 (UnavailableBroken) means this PrintChannel is not available and is broken, e.g., needs repair/replacement.
