Glen,

 

Within IPP ("media-supported") and the PWG media names (5101.1), the
"custom_min_WIDTHxHEIGHTunits" and "custom_max_WIDTHxHEIGHTunits" names
communicate that the printer supports custom media sizes and what the
range of acceptable values it. I think we just do the same thing in the
Semantic Model.

 

For media-col's "media-size" member attribute we use a rangeOfInteger
value for the "x-dimension" and "y-dimension" sub=member attributes when
reporting the supported values ("media-size-supported"). I don't know
whether the SM supports this kind of representation for supported
MediaSize values...

Peter,

 

Has there been or is there a set of variable for "media size or "printer
supported media size"  that is expressed as the minimum paper size and
maximum paper size.   For example a printer may only be able to grab
paper that is 3x 5 and only has a paper tray or feeder that is only
letter size wide.  However, the printer can support any media size
between these to limits.

 

To me this makes it easier to report media size supported.   The printer
does not have to report all the possible size; which could be a large
list.   The client can use this data to display list of media within the
range.
