    Ira,

    Sorry for my confusion here, but can you tell me where
    'black media sheet' is defined? I could not find this
    in the Counter's spec.

    If someone says to me 'black media sheet', I would believe
    (incorrectly I guess) they were talking about a black sheet
    of paper, not a sheet printed with black toner. Note that
    I am not concerned with the object name, just the
    description clause.

            Ron

    Hi Ron,

    The first is a good catch - thanks.

    The rest are rewordings that attempt to tersely redefine
    what a 'black media sheet' (for example) means. The
    Counter MIB normatively imports these definitions from
    the Counter Spec. The rewordings are possibly dangerous
    and add no value (in my opinion). It is NOT the business
    of the Counter MIB to redefine these terms at variance
    with the Counter Spec.

    My two cents,
    - Ira

    I have two comments on this document.
    1. Invalid examples in the description clause for:
    icKeySubunitType The text "(e.g., print, copy, etc.)" is incorrect
    for this object. Should be "(e.g., inputTray, outputBin, etc.)".
    2. Unclear wording in the description clauses for:
    icSheetBlackSheets:

            managed service (e.g., 'icServiceType' of 'print')

            "Media sheets printed by this managed service (e.g.,
