    Description
    SNMP v1/v2c read-write access

    The print server uses version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol. You can use all of your machine's applications in this mode. However, it is not secure since it will not authenticate the user and data will not be encrypted.

    SNMP v1/v2c read-only access

    The print server uses the read-only access of version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol.

    Disabled

    Disable version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol.

    All applications that use SNMPv1/v2c will be restricted. To allow the use of SNMPv1/v2c applications, use the SNMP v1/v2c read-only access or SNMP v1/v2c read-write access mode.
