I was trying to save a little typing but Jay will not let anything
get by him -). Therefore per Jay's request, here is a short summary of
the closed issues.
- Evolution of the Interfaces Group
Resolution: The next Printer MIB will reference MIB-2 not MIB-3
- Serial Number and Administratively Assigned Printer Name
Resolution: Objects will be added as specified by Jay Martin with syntax
octet string with length 32.
- Localization
Resolution: Change the last sent of description the of
prtGeneralCurrentLocalizaton
to read: Note that this object does not apply to localized strings in the
prtConsole group or any object that does not explicitly state it is
localized by prtGeneralCurrentLocalization.
- Colorant Value
Resolution: Increase prtMarkerColorant range from 127 to 255 octets.
- InputMedia Form Parts
Resolution: Randy Turner will revise grammar.
- Manual Feed Timeout
Resolution: (-1) means infinite switching timeout, not that manual feed is
unsupported.
- All of the Miscellaneous Clarifications
1. prtGeneralReset - If a device does not have NVRAM the device will,
nonetheless
respond to a set with a warm reset. This response is undefined and specific
to the device.
2. Media Path group - Recommendation to clarify logical media paths accepted
with
editorial license applied by the editor to shorten the description. ...For
example,
a device may have a single physical media path, however, when used for duplex
printing,
the printer can...
3. Cover vs Interlock - The prtCoverStatus object does not attempt to place a
semantic on the effect on printing of the cover or interlock status. This
will be handled
by the alert table. This is just the state of the door or interlock. Maybe it
would have been
better to have defined an Interlock table, prtInterlockType and a simple
status of
OPEN/CLOSED. Since we can't really fix it without ripping up the MIB, will
live with
what we have. Also Door open/closed will be changed to Cover open/closed in
the TCs.
4. prtInputDefaultIndex range - Change to SYNTAX Integer32
5. prtInputDefaultIndex: -1 (other) is the correct value for
prtInputDefaultIndex
when there is no overriding system wide default..
6. prtOutputDefaultIndex: -1 (other) is the correct value for
prtOutputDefaultIndex
when there is no overriding system wide default..
7. Status definitions - accepted. Note that busy pertains to the Printer or
sub-unit.
Move 2.2.13.2 start down to The Host MIB provides three....). Have to change
definition of
available to not-broken.
- Alert Table
Resolution: Add Counter 32 - R/O - to count changes made to alert table. If
anything
is added, removed or otherwise changed in the alert table, the counter bumps.
One
counter for critical and one for all alerts. The new object will be added to
the
Alert group, making it prtAlert.2 (critical) and prtAlert.3 (all).
