General Procedures and Information
6-46 04/08 Phaser 3100 MFP
initial number of pages for the consumable is 8000 and the threshold is set to 2000 pages, the
remote readout will be triggered when the corresponding percentage drops below 25%.
The remote readout using the threshold criterion can be triggered only once per consumable.
Once the remote readout has been transmitted, the criterion will no longer be tested until the con-
sumable has been replaced.
The transmissions triggered by the two criteria (thresholds and day) are independent of each oth-
er. I.e., as soon as one of the criteria is met, the transmission is triggered, irrespective of the state
of the other parameters. The transmission is immediate.
It is also possible to force a transmission manually by means of the advanced functions menu
(key sequence 8 7 3).
Initial Consumables (print cartridge)
On a new machine, the consumables are activated by reading an initial EEPROM card. The con-
sumables present in the machine at that time are referred to as the initial consumables. In this
case, regardless of the thresholds entered in the advanced functions menu (key sequence *
6), for each consumable the first remote readout will be triggered on the base of a threshold cri-
terion of 1000 pages. After this, when the consumable has been replaced and after reading the
EEPROM card, the machine switches to the standard remote readout mode as described earlier.
Description of the Transmitted Data
Format of transmitted data in transparent mode
When a criterion is met, a transmission in transparent mode is generated (the softswitch SOS 10
bit 5 must have been set to 0).The structure of the transmitted file is of the type TLV (Type - Length
- Value).
The transmitted data are defined below, with for each item: its identifier (TLV “type”), its format
(numerical or character string) and its origin (entered by the operator or generated by the soft-
ware).
These parameters, which are also present in the transmission report, will be described further on.
