Notes:

  • All channels are dynamically added at runtime.
  • The word color in channel names follows American spelling ("color").
  • The colorLevel, colorMarkingUsed and colorPagesRemaining channels are used on printers that have only a single color cartridge instead of separate Ccyan, magenta and yellow cartridges.
  • The scanner group is for the scanning engine which consists of scan, copy and other operations; the scan group is for scanner operations only.
  • If no status group channels are selected, then those relevant data endpoints on the Embedded Web Server are not polled for status information.
