1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.9.4.2.2.16.5.1.2
The content of a line in the logical display buffer of
the operator's console of the printer. When a write
operation occurs, normally a critical message, to one of
the LineText strings, the agent should make that line
displayable if a physical display is present. Writing
a zero length string clears the line. It is an
implementation-specific matter as to whether the agent allows
a line to be overwritten before it has been cleared.
Printer generated strings shall be in the localization
specified by prtConsoleLocalization. Management Application
generated strings should be localized by the Management
Application.
Additional information:
The proprietary objects BACKGROUND-STATUS-MSG-LINE1-PART1 and
BACKGROUND-STATUS-MSG-LINE2-PART1 should be used to write messages to the control panel
display.
prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.[1..6] map to logical lines 1-6 of the display.
Most of the time the display will show a single one or two line message. This message can be retrieved by
reading prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.1 and prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.2. In this case
prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.[3..6] will be NULL.
If prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.3 or prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.4 is not NULL, the display will be
alternating.
If prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.5 and prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.6 are NULL, the display will
alternate prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.1 and prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.2 with
prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.3 and prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.4.
If prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.5 or prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.6 is not NULL, the display will show
prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.1 and prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.2 then
prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.3 and prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.4 then
prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.5 and prtConsoleDisplayBufferText.1.6.
The display will alternate between line pairs at three second intervals.
