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
