the formal announcement of PWG Last Call for the PWG Command Set Format for
IEEE 1284 Device ID 1.0 specification, prior to balloting for advancement to PWG
Candidate Standard. The current draft is at </span><a

<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>This “Stable”
draft has been extensively reviewed and represents consensus of the WIMS/PMP
Working Group. Notice from Dell of implementation, received in January,
satisfies the prototyping requirement. The workgroup has selected a 30-day last
call period, ending on 25 February 2010 and overlapping the February Plenary. It
is intended that comments relative to this last call be addressed during
the WIMS/PMP face-to-face meeting being held in conjunction with the plenary,
although all comments received any time during the last call period will be
addressed after the last call period is ended, according to the documented
PWG process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>Because the IEEE1284 Device ID
is used in many places and in more current contexts than the 1284
interface, this document will have a effect on virtually all printer products. It
is strongly recommended that all parties making printers or interfacing
software review this document. Note that, according to the PWG process:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Call represents a final opportunity for issues to be raised against a document.
During this period all PWG members are encouraged to review the final working
draft for both technical and editorial content and to provide comments to the
Working Group.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

acknowledged review by at least 30% of the PWG membership is necessary, comments
are accepted from all interested parties, whether or not they are PWG members.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
