All,
Ira McDonald has proposed the addition of 'percent(19)'
to the textual conventions 'PrtCapacityUnitTC' and
'PrtMarkerSuppliesUnitTC'.
I believe that this can be accomplished during the
RFC Editors cycle.
If anyone has any objections to this new enumeration
please state your reasons before December 18, 2000.

Subject: PMP> Add 'percent(19)' to 'PrtCapacityUnitTC' and
'PrtMarkerSuppliesUn itTC'
Hi,
Implementors here at Sharp have found a serious problem with
'prtInputCurrentLevel', 'prtOutputRemainingCapacity' and
'prtMarkerSuppliesLevel'.
Their related units objects need 'percent(19)' added to
allow reporting of RELATIVE levels (often the only
information known from sensors).
- 'PrtCapacityUnitTC' should have 'items(18)' (per Ron B
and Harry L) and 'percent(19)' added
- 'PrtMarkerSuppliesSupplyUnitTC' should have 'percent(19)'
added
BOTH of these textual conventions should also have 'other(1)'
and 'unknown(2)' added - this would provide short-term
relief to the NEXT product team that finds a missing unit
AFTER the Printer MIB v2 is published as an RFC.
Cheers,
