Ira,
I agree finDeviceCurrentCapacity can be misleading. It is intended
to indicate the current "level" (normally sheets) of the device.
I don't know why we settled on this terminolgy. But if you look at
the output group in the printer MIB, it indicates "remaining capacity".

Hi Mark,
finDeviceMaxCapacity refers to the (usually paper handling)
capacity of the finishing device itself (binder, stapler,
etc.), not of supplies (like staples).
finDeviceCurrentCapacity is ambiguous (by my lights). I don't
think it applies. Note it's NOT called '...CurrentLevel',
as used in finSupplyCurrentLevel.
Ron - can you clarify?
Cheers,
- Ira

Ira,
I was just wondering if you could provide a hint to the intended meaning
of MIB objects finDeviceMaxCapacity and finDeviceCurrentCapacity in the
finisher mib.
These do not describe how much of a supply remains (those are in
finSupplyMaxCapacity and finSupplyCurrentLevel), or how much room
remains in the output tray (see prtOutputRemainingCapacity),
