    It would appear that we overlooked adding fin types to the PrtCapacityUnitTC. The only units in PrtCapacityUnitTC are
    tenThousandthsOfInches(3), micrometers(4), sheets(8), feet(16),
    meters(17). How, then, are we
    to indicate the capacity or max capacity of a finisher device subunit such
    as a stapler?

    Also, it appears that, for simple finishers, it will be redundant to
    describe the capacity and max capacity in both the Device and Supply
    entries. (of course, more complex finishers may have multiple supplies and
    supply types). In this case, is the recommendation to just let the
    redundancy exist?

    FinDeviceEntry ::= SEQUENCE {
          finDeviceIndex Integer32,
          finDeviceType FinDeviceTypeTC,
          finDevicePresentOnOff PresentOnOff,
          finDeviceCapacityUnit PrtCapacityUnitTC,
          finDeviceMaxCapacity Integer32,
          finDeviceCurrentCapacity Integer32,
          finDeviceAssociatedMediaPaths OCTET STRING,
          finDeviceAssociatedOutputs OCTET STRING,
          finDeviceStatus PrtSubUnitStatusTC,
          finDeviceDescription OCTET STRING

    and also in the

    FinSupplyEntry ::= SEQUENCE {
          finSupplyIndex Integer32,
          finSupplyDeviceIndex Integer32,
          finSupplyClass PrtMarkerSuppliesClassTC,
          finSupplyType PrtMarkerSuppliesTypeTC,
          finSupplyDescription OCTET STRING,
          finSupplyUnit PrtMarkerSuppliesSupplyUnitTC,
          finSupplyMaxCapacity Integer32,
          finSupplyCurrentLevel Integer32,
          finSupplyColorName OCTET STRING
