Description of Working Group and Goals
Purpose:
IEEE-1394 High Speed Serial Bus enables new and enhanced printing applications. Standardization of the 1394 printing model(s) grows and extends the printing market and accelerates the adoption of the IEEE-1394 standard interface.
1394 printing applications want to take advantage of the new capabilities of 1394, including:
- Multiple Asynchronous and Isochronous streams
- Peer to Peer Communication
- High Bandwidth
Standards for use of these capabilities need to be developed and endorsed for use by 1394 printing devices and other 1394 devices that wish to communicate with them. These standards will enable interoperability between 1394 devices.
Scope:
The 1394 Printer Working Group will be the focal point for the development
and coordination of a comprehensive printing solution for the 1394 I/F.
This project will produce a specification to define a mechanism for printing on IEEE Std. 1394-1995 compliant links. This specification will include existing standards or specifications and any new specifications as necessary.
Areas of review will include:
- Job Submission
- Local & Remote
- Transport protocols
- Push & Pull Models
- Link Layers
- Data formats
- Compressed & Uncompressed Image
- Page Description Languages
- Printer Command Languages
- Device Management
- Remote Control Panels
- Service Discovery
- Plug and Play
- CSR and Configuration ROM
