Printer Status Codes

Printer status codes are similar to http status codes, but not directly compatible. They are a 3 digit error code, which can be followed by a space, and then an error description. Note that error descriptions are intended for logging, and may vary between clients. Error codes will be added to this document as required, but follow a pattern meaning that a server need not recognise all specific error codes. For example, all codes beginning "2" (200, 211, etc.) mean that the printer is online, all codes beginning with a "4" represent a printer error, etc.

Code	Description
2xx	Printer is online and able to print.
21x	Printer is online, but a paper related warning is n place, the printer may go offline in the near future.
210	Paper low.
4xx	Printer error - all codes beginning with 4 indicate a failure due to printer error.
41x	Paper error.
410	Out of paper.
411	Paper jam.
42x	Cover open error.
420	Cover open.
5xx	Client error - all codes beginning with 5 indicate a client issue.
51x	Media compatibility error.
510	Incompatible media type, client does not support the data issued by the server.
511	Media decoding error. Client supports the media type, but failed to decode it. May indicate a data corruption, or differing versions of the media format.
512	Unsupported media version. Means that the media type is supported, but the version issued by the server is not compatible. E.g. client may support PDF up to 1.4, but not 1.5.
52x	Job download error.
520	Timeout, client could not download the job within an internal timeout limit.
521	Job too large. The job data is too large for the client's download buffer or exceeds a specified size limit.
