1. Introduction
1.1. Network Printing Environment
The management of producing a printed document, in any computer
environment, is a complex subject. Basically, the task can be
divided into two overlapping pieces, the management of printing and
the management of the printer. Printing encompasses the entire
process of producing a printed document from generation of the file
to be printed, selection of a printer, choosing printing properties
, routing, queuing, resource management, scheduling, and final
printing including notifying the user. Most of the printing
process is outside the scope of the model presented here; only the
management of the printer is covered.

1.2. Printer Device Overview
A printer is the physical device that takes media from an input
source, produces marks on that media according to some page
description or page control language and puts the result in some
output destination, possibly with finishing applied. Printers are
complex devices that consume supplies, produce waste and have
mechanical problems. In the management of the physical printing
device the description, status and alert information concerning the
printer and its various subparts has to be made available to the
management application so that it can be reported to the end user,
key operators for the replenishment of supplies or the repair or
maintenance of the device. The information needed in the management
of the physical printer and the management of a printing job
overlap highly and many of the tasks in each management area
require the same or similar information.
1.3. Categories of Printer Information
Information about printers is classified into three basic
categories: descriptions, status and alerts.
1.3.1. Descriptions
Descriptions convey information about the configuration and
capabilities of the printer and its various sub-units. This
information is largely static information and does not generally
change during the operation of the system but may change as the
printer is repaired, reconfigured or upgraded. The descriptions are
one part of the visible state of the printer where state means the
condition of being of the printer at any point in time.
1.3.2. Status
Status is the information regarding the current operating state of
the printer and its various sub-units. Status is the rest of the
visible state of the printer. As an example of the use of status, a
management application must be able to determine if the various
INTERNET-DRAFT 9
J.R. Turner, Sharp Laboratories of America
INTERNET-DRAFT
J.R. Turner, Sharp Laboratories of America
Expires June 3, 1997
sub- units are ready to print or are in some state that prevents
printing or may prevent printing in the future.
1.3.3. Alerts
An Alert is the representation of a reportable event in the
printer. An event is a change in the state of the printer. Some of
those state changes are of interest to a management application and
are therefore reportable. Typically, these are the events that
affect the printer's ability to print. Alerts usually occur
asynchronously to the operation of the computer system(s) to which
the printer is attached. For convenience below, "alert" will be
used for both the event caused by a change in the printer's state
and for the representation of that event.
Alerts can be classified into two basic categories, critical and
non-critical. A critical alert is one that is triggered by entry
into a state in which the printer is stopped and printing can not
continue until the condition that caused critical alert is
eliminated. "Out of paper", "toner empty" and "output bin full" are
examples of critical alerts. Non-critical alerts are triggered by
those events that enter a state in which printing is not stopped.
Such a non-critical state may, at some future time, lead to a state
in which printing may be stopped. Examples of this kind of non-
critical alerts are "input media low", "toner low" and "output bin
nearly full". Or, a non-critical alert may simply provide
information, such as signaling a configuration changed in the
printer.
Description, status and alert information about the printer can be
thought of as a data base describing the printer. The management
application for a printer will want to view the printer data base
differently depending on how and for what purposes the information
in the data base is needed.
2. Printer Model
In order to accomplish the management of the printer, an abstract
model of the printer is needed to represent the sub-units from
which the printer is composed. A printer can be described as
consisting of 13 types of sub-units. It is important to note that
the sub-units of a printer do not necessarily relate directly to
any physically identifiable mechanism. Sub-units can also be a set
of definable logical processes, such as interpreters for page
description languages or command processors that set various
operating modes of the printer.
Figure 2 shows a block diagram of the printer and its basic 13
sub-
units.

2.1. Overview of the Printer Model
The model has three basic parts: (1) the flow of a print file into
an interpreter and onto the marker, (2) the flow of media through
the marker and (3) the auxiliary sub-units that control and
facilitate the two prior flows. The flow of the print data comes
through a physical connection on which some form of transport
protocol stack is running. The data provided by the transport
protocol (interface) appears on a channel which is the input to an
interpreter. The interpreter converts the print data into a form
suitable for marking on the media.
The media resides in Input sub-units from which the media is
selected and then transported via a Media Path first to a Marking
sub-unit and then onto an Output sub-unit with (optionally) some
finishing operations being performed. The auxiliary sub-units
facilitate control of the printer, inquiry/control of the operator
panel, reporting of alerts, and the adaptation of the printer to
various natural languages and characters sets. All the software
sub-units run on the System Controller which represents the
processor, memory and storage systems of the Printer. Each of the
sub-units is discussed in more detail below.
All of the sub-units other than the Alerts report only state
information, either a description or a status. The Alerts sub-unit
reports event information.
2.2. Printer Sub-Units
A printer is composed of 13 types of sub-units, called groups. The
following sections describe the different types of sub-units.
2.2.1. General Printer
The general printer sub-unit is responsible for the overall control
and status of the printer. There is exactly one general printer
sub-unit in a printer. The general printer sub-unit is represented
by the General Printer Group in the model. In addition to the
providing the status of the whole printer and allowing the printer
to be reset, this Group provides information on the status of the
packaging of the printer, in particular, the covers. The general
printer sub-unit is usually implemented on the system controller.
The localization portion of the general printer sub-unit is
responsible for identifying the natural language, country, and
character set in which character strings are expressed. There may
be one or more localizations supported per printer. The available
localizations are represented by the Localization table.
INTERNET-DRAFT 13
J.R. Turner, Sharp Laboratories of America
INTERNET-DRAFT
J.R. Turner, Sharp Laboratories of America
Expires June 3, 1997
Localization is only performed on those strings in the MIB that are
explicitly marked as being localized. All other character strings
are returned in ASCII.
The character set portion of the general printer sub-unit is
responsible for identifying the possible character sets that are
used by the interpreters, the operator console, and in network
management requests for display objects. There may be one or more
character sets per printer. The understood character sets are
represented by the Character Set Table.
2.2.2. Inputs
Input sub-units are mechanisms that feed media to be marked on into
the printer. A printer contains one or more input sub-units. These
are represented by the Input Group in the model. The model does not
distinguish fixed input bins from removable trays, except to report
when a removable tray has been removed.
There are as many input sub-units as there are distinctly
selectable input "addresses". For example, if a tray has an option
for manually feeding paper as well as automatically feeding from
the tray, then this is two input sub-units if these two sources can
be (must be) separately selected and is one input sub-unit if
putting a sheet in the manual feed slot overrides feeding from the
contents of the tray; that is, in the second case there is no way
to separately select or address the manual feed slot.
2.2.3. Media
An input sub-unit can hold one or more instances of the media on
which marking is to be done. Typically, there is a large set of
possible media that can be associated with an input. The Media
Group is an extension of the Input Group which represents that
media that is in an input sub-unit. The Media Group only describes
the current contents of each input and not the possible content of
the input sub-unit.
2.2.4. Outputs
Output sub-units are mechanisms that receive media that has been
marked on. A printer contains one or more output mechanisms. These
are represented by the Output Group in the model. The model does
not distinguish fixed output bins from removable output bins,
except to report when a removable bin has been removed.
There are as many output sub-units as there are distinctly
selectable output "addresses". Output sub-units can be addressed
in two different ways: (1) as a set of "mailboxes" which are
addressed by a specific mailbox selector such as a bin number or a
bin name, or (2) as a set of "slots" into which multiple copies are
collated. Sometimes both modes of using the output sub-units can be
INTERNET-DRAFT 14
J.R. Turner, Sharp Laboratories of America
INTERNET-DRAFT
J.R. Turner, Sharp Laboratories of America
Expires June 3, 1997
used on the same printer. All that is important from the viewpoint
of the model is that the output units can be separately selected.
2.2.5. Finishers
A finisher is a sub-unit that performs some operations on the media
other than marking. The finisher sub-units are represented by the
Finisher Group in the model. Some examples of finishing processes
are stapling, punching, binding, inserting, or folding. Finishing
processes may have supplies associated with the process. Stapling,
binding, and punching are examples of processes that have supplies.
A printer may have more than one finishing sub-unit and each
finishing sub-unit may be associated with one or more output sub-
units. Finishers are not described in this MIB.
The exact interaction and sequencing between an output device and
its associated finisher is not specified by the model. It depends
on the type of finishing process and the exact implementation of
the printer system. This standard allows for the logical
association of a finishing process with an output device but does
not put any restrictions on the exact sequence or interaction with
the associated output device. The output and finisher sub-units may
or may not be separate identifiable physical mechanisms depending
on the exact implementation of a printer. In addition, a single
output device may be associated with multiple finishing sub-units
and a single finishing sub-unit may be associated with multiple
output devices.
2.2.6. Markers
A marker is the mechanism that produces marks on the print media.
The marker sub-units and their associated supplies are represented
by the Marker Group in the model. A printer can contain one or more
marking mechanisms. Some examples of multiple marker sub-units
are: a printer with separate markers for normal and magnetic ink or
an imagesetter that can output to both a proofing device and final
film. Each marking device can have its own set of characteristics
associated with it, such as marking technology and resolution.
In this model the marker sub-unit is viewed as very generalized and
encompasses all aspects of a marking process. For example, in a
xerographic process, the marking process as well as the fusing
process would be included in the generalized concept of the marker.
With the generalized concept of a marking process, the concept of
multiple marking supplies associated with a single marking sub-unit
results. For example, in the xerographic process, there is not only
a supply of toner, but there can also be other supplies such as a
fuser supply (e.g., fuser oil) that can be consumed and replaced
separately. In addition there can be multiple supplies of toner for
a single marker device,as in a color process.

2.2.7. Media Paths
The media paths encompass the mechanisms in the printer that move
the media through the printer and connect all other media related
sub-units: inputs, outputs, markers and finishers. A printer
contains one or more media paths. These are represented by the
Media Path Group in the model. The Media Path group has some
objects that apply to all paths plus a table of the separate media
paths.
In general, the design of the media paths determines the maximum
speed of the printer as well as the maximum media size that the
printer can handle. Media paths are complex mechanisms and can
contain many different identifiable sub-mechanisms such as media
movement devices, media buffers, duplexing units and interlocks.
Not all of the various sub-mechanisms reside on every media path.
For example, one media path may provide printing only on one
surface of the media (a simplex path) and another media path may
have a sub-mechanism that turns the media over and feeds it a
second time through the marker sub-unit (a duplex path). The
duplex path may even have a buffer sub-mechanism that allows
multiple copies of the obverse side to be held before the reverse
side of all the copies are marked.
2.2.8. System Controller
The System Controller is the sub-unit upon which the software
components of the Printer run. The System Controller is represented
in the model by the Host MIB. This MIB allows for the specification
of the processor(s), memory, disk storage, file system and other
underlying sub-mechanisms of the printer. The controller can range
from simple single processor systems to multiprocessor systems. In
addition, controllers can have a full range of resources such as
hard disks. The printer is modeled to have one system controller
even though it may have more than one processor and multiple other
resources associated with it.
2.2.9. Interfaces
An interface is the communications port and associated protocols
that are responsible for the transport of data to the printer. A
printer has one or more interface sub-units. The interfaces are
represented by the Interfaces Group of MIB-II (RFC 1213). Some
examples of interfaces are serial ports (with little or no
protocol) and EtherNet ports on which one might run InterNet IP,
Novell IPX, etc.
2.2.10. Print Job Delivery Channels
The print job delivery channel sub-units identify the independent
sources of print data (here print data is the information that is
used to construct printed pages and may have both data and control
aspects). A printer may have one or more channels. The channel
INTERNET-DRAFT 16
J.R. Turner, Sharp Laboratories of America
INTERNET-DRAFT
J.R. Turner, Sharp Laboratories of America
Expires June 3, 1997
sub-units are represented by the Print Job Delivery Channel Group
in the Model. Each channel is typically identified by the
electronic path and service protocol used to deliver print data to
the printer. A channel sub-unit may be independently enabled
(allowing print data to flow) or disabled (stopping the flow of
print data). It has a current Control Language which can be used to
specify which interpreter is to be used for the print data and to
query and change environment variables used by the interpreters
(and SNMP). There is also a default interpreter that is to be used
if an interpreter is not explicitly specified using the Control
Language. Print Job Delivery Channel sub-units can, and usually
are, based on an underlying interface.
2.2.11. Interpreters
The interpreter sub-units are responsible for the conversion of a
description of intended print instances into images that are to be
marked on the media. A printer may have one or more interpreters.
The interpreter sub-units are represented by the Interpreter Group
in the Model. Each interpreter is generally implemented with
software running on the System Controller sub-unit. The Interpreter
Table has one entry per interpreter where the interpreters include
both Page Description Language (PDL) Interpreters and Control
Language Interpreters.
2.2.12. Console
Many printers have a console on the printer, the operator console,
that is used to display and modify the state of the printer. The
console can be as simple as a few indicators and switches or as
complicated as full screen displays and keyboards. There can be at
most one such console. This console sub-unit is represented by the
Console Group in the model. Although most of the information
displayed there is also available in the state of the printer as
represented by the various Groups, it is useful to be able to query
and modify the operator console remotely. For example, a
management application might like to display to its user the
current message on the operator console of the remote printer or
the management application user might like to modify the current
message on the operators console of the remote printer. As another
example, one might have a remote application that puts up a pseudo
console on a workstation screen. Since the rules by which the
printer state is mapped onto the console and vice versa are not
standardized, it is not possible to reproduce the console state or
the action of console buttons and menus. Therefore, the Console
Group provides access to the console. The operator console is
usually implemented on the system controller with additional
hardware for input and display.
2.2.13. Alerts
The alert sub-unit is responsible for detecting reportable events,
making an entry in the alert table and, if and only if the event is
INTERNET-DRAFT 17
J.R. Turner, Sharp Laboratories of America
INTERNET-DRAFT
J.R. Turner, Sharp Laboratories of America
Expires June 3, 1997
a critical event, initiating a trap. The exception to this rule is
when the "alert alert" trap is generated. The alert sub-unit is
represented by the Alerts Group and, in particular, the Alert
Table. This table contains information on the severity, sub-unit,
detailed location within the sub-unit, alert code and description
of each critical alert that is currently active within the printer.
Each reportable event causes an entry to be made in the Alert
Table.
2.2.13.1. Status and Alerts
Summary information about the state of the printer is reported at
three separate levels: (1) there is the status of the printer as a
whole reported in the Host MIB, (2) there is the status of various
sub-units reported in the principle table of the Group that
represents the sub-unit, and (3) there are alert codes reported in
the Alert Table.
2.2.13.2. Overall Printer Status
Of the many states a printer can be in, certain states are more
"interesting" because of the distinct actions they are likely to
provoke in the administrator. These states may be applied to the
printer as a whole, or to a particular sub-unit of the
printer.These named states are:
Non Critical Alert Active - For the printer this means that one or
more sub-units have a non-critical alert active. For a sub-unit,
this means that the sub-unit has a non-critical alert active.
Critical Alert Active - For the printer this means that one or more
sub-units have a critical alert active. For a sub-unit, this means
that the sub-unit has a critical alert active.
Unavailable - The printer or sub-unit is unavailable for use (this
is the same as "broken" or "down" in other terminologies). A
trained service person is typically necessary to make it available.
Busy / Temporarily Unavailable - The printer or sub-unit is
operational but currently occupied with a request for activity. The
sub-unit will become available without the need of human
interaction.
Moving on-line or off-line - The printer is either off-line, in the
process of moving off-line or in the process of moving back on-
line; for example on high end printers reloading paper involves a
transition to off-line to open the paper bin, it is then filled
and, finally, there is a transition back to on-line as the paper
bin is repositioned for printing.
Standby - The printer or sub-unit is unavailable for use because it
is partially powered down and may need some period of time to
become fully operational again. A unit in Standby state shall
respond to network management requests.

Available - The printer or subunit is functioning normally.
Idle - The printer or subunit is not processing any print jobs
Active - The printer or subunit is working on one or more print
jobs
Busy - The printer or subunit is "Active" and has also reached a
resource threshold whereby it will not accept any new print jobs
for a finite period of time. The expected next state transition
from the "busy" state is to the "active" state, implying that
resources are again available to accept new print jobs.
The Host Resources MIB (RFC 1514) provides three status objects
that can be used to describe the status of a printer: (1)
hrDeviceStatus in the entry in the hrDeviceTable; (2)
hrPrinterStatus in the hrPrinterTable; and (3)
hrPrinterDetectedErrorState in the hrPrinterTable. These objects
describe many of the states that a printer can be in. The
following table shows how the states named above can be recognized
by inspecting the values of the three printer-related objects in
the Host MIB:
Printer hrDeviceStatus hrPrinterStatus
hrPrinterDetectedErrorState
Status
Normal running(2) idle(3) none set
Busy/ running(2) printing(4)
Temporarily
Unavailable
Non Critical warning(3) idle(3) or could be: lowPaper,

These named states are only a subset of the possible states - they
are not an exhaustive list of the possible states. Nevertheless,
several things should be noted. When using these states, it is not
possible to detect when both critical and non-critical alerts are
pending - if both are pending, the Critical Alert Active state will
prevail. In addition, a printer in the Standby state will be
represented in the Host MIB with a device status of running(2) and
a printer status of other(1), a set of states that don't uniquely
distinguish this important printer state.
Although the above mapping is workable, it would be improved with a
few additions to hrDeviceStatus and hrPrinterStatus in the Host
Resources MIB. In particular, it would be appropriate to add a
"standby" enumeration to hrDeviceStatus. Similarly, it would be
useful to add the following states to hrPrinterStatus: "offline" to
indicate that reason for the printer being down (instead of having
to use "other") which allows both "warning" and "offline" to
indicate going offline and "down" and "offline" to indicate offline
and "notApplicable" to cover cases, such as "standby", where the
device state completely describes the state of the device.
Detailed status per sub-unit is reported in the sub-unit status
fields.
2.2.13.2.1. Host MIB Printer Status
For completeness, the definitions of the Printer Status objects of
the Host MIB are given below:

DESCRIPTION
"The current operational state of the device
described by this row of the table. A value
unknown(1) indicates that the current state of the
device is unknown. running(2) indicates that the
device is up and running and that no unusual error
conditions are known. The warning(3) state
indicates that agent has been informed of an
unusual error condition by the operational
software
(e.g., a disk device driver) but that the device
is
still 'operational'. An example would be high
number of soft errors on a disk. A value of

Bits are numbered starting with the most
significant bit of the first byte being bit 0,
the
least significant bit of the first byte being bit

being bit 8, and so on. A one bit encodes that
the condition was detected, while a zero bit
encodes that the condition was not detected.
This object is useful for alerting an operator to
specific warning or error conditions that may
occur, especially those requiring human
intervention."

2.2.13.2.2. Sub-unit Status
Sub-unit status is reported in the entries of the principle table
in the Group that represents the sub-unit. For sub-units that
report a status, there is a status column in the table and the
value of this column is always an integer formed in the following
way
The SubUnitStatus is an integer that is the sum of 5 distinct
values, Availability, Non-Critical, Critical, On-line, and
Transitioning. These values are:
Availability value

For example, an input (tray) that jammed on the next to the last
page may show a status of 27 (unavailable because broken (3) + a
critical state (16), jammed, and a noncritical state (8), low
paper).
2.2.13.3. Alert Tables
The Alert Group consists of a single table in which all active
alerts are represented. This section provides and overview of the
table and a description of how it is managed. The basic content of
the alert table is the severity (critical or non-critical) of the
alert, the Group and entry where a state change caused the alert,
additional information about the alert (a more detailed location,
an alert code, and a description), and an indication of the level
of training needed to service the alert.
The Alert Table contains some information that is redundant, for
example that an event has occurred, and some information that is
only represented in the Alert Table, for example the additional
information. A single table was used because a single entry in a
group could cause more than one alert, for example paper jams in
more than one place in a media path. Associating the additional
information with the entry in the affected group would only allow
one report where associating the additional information with the
alert makes multiple reports possible. Every time an alert occurs
in the printer, the printer makes one or more entries into the
Alert Table. The printer determines if an event is to be classified
as critical or non-critical. If the severity of the Alert is
"critical", the printer sends a trap or event notification to the
host indicating that the table has changed. Whether or not a trap
is sent, the management application is expected to poll the printer
on a regular basis and to read and parse the table to determine
what conditions have changed, in order to provide reliable
information to the management application user.
2.2.13.4. Alert Table Management
The alert tables are sparsely populated tables. This means the
tables will only contain entries of the alerts that are currently
active and the number of rows, or entries in the table will be
dynamic. More than one event can be added or removed from the event
tables at a time depending on the implementation of the printer.
There are basically two kinds of events that produce alerts: binary
change events and unary change events. Binary change events come in
INTERNET-DRAFT 23
J.R. Turner, Sharp Laboratories of America
INTERNET-DRAFT
J.R. Turner, Sharp Laboratories of America
Expires June 3, 1997
pairs: the leading edge event and the trailing edge event. The
leading edge event enters a state from which there is only one
exit; for example, going from running to stopped with a paper jam.
The only exit from this state is fixing the paper jam and it is
clear when that is accomplished. The trailing edge event is the
event which exits the state that was entered by the leading edge
event; in the example above fixing the paper jam is the trailing
edge event.
It is relatively straightforward to manage binary change events in
the Alert Table. Only the leading edge event makes an entry in the
alert table. This entry persists in the Alert Table until the
trailing edge event occurs at which point this event is signaled by
the removal of the leading edge event entry in the Alert Table.
That is, a trailing edge event does not create an entry; it removes
the corresponding leading edge event. Removing the leading edge
entry may cause the unary change event
"alertRemovalofBinaryChangeEntry" to be added to the table. With
binary change events it is possible to compute the maximum number
that can occur at the same time and construct an Alert Table that
would hold that many events. There would be no possibility of table
overflow and no information about outstanding events would be lost.
Unfortunately, there are some events that are not binary changes.
This other category of event, the unary change event, is
illustrated by the configuration change event. With this kind of
event the state of the machine has changed, but to a state which is
(often) just as valid as the state that was left and from which no
return is necessary. For example, an operator may change the paper
that is in the primary input source from letter to legal. At some
time in the future the paper may be changed back to letter, but it
might be changed to executive instead. This is where the problem
occurs. It is not obvious how long to keep simple change event
entries in the Alert Table. If they were never removed, the Alert
Table would continue to grow indefinitely.
The agent needs to have an algorithm implemented for the management
of the alert table, especially in the face of combinations of
binary and simple alerts that would overflow the storage capacity
of the table. When the table is full and a new alert needs to be
added, an old alert needs to be deleted. The alert to be deleted
should be chosen using the following rules:
1. Find a non-critical simple alert and delete it. If there
are
multiple non-critical simple alerts, it is suggested that
the
oldest one be chosen. If there are no non-critical simple
alerts, then,
2. Find a non-critical binary alert and delete it. If there
are
INTERNET-DRAFT 24
J.R. Turner, Sharp Laboratories of America
INTERNET-DRAFT
J.R. Turner, Sharp Laboratories of America
Expires June 3, 1997
multiple non-critical binary alerts, it is suggested that
the
oldest one be chosen. If there are no non-critical binary
alerts, then,
3. Find a critical (binary) alert and delete it. If there are
multiple critical alerts, it is suggested that the
oldest one be chosen. Agent implementors are encouraged to
provide at least enough storage space for the maximum number
of critical alerts that could occur simultaneously. Note
that
all critical alerts are binary.
Note that because the Alert Index is a monotonically increasing
integer there will be gaps in the values in the table when an alert
is deleted. Such gaps can be detected by the management
application to indicate that the management application may want to
re-acquire the Printer state and check for state changes it did not
observe in the Alert Table.
2.3. Read-Write Objects
Some of the objects in the printer MIB report on the existence of
or amount of a given resource used with the printer. Some examples
of such resources are the size and number of sheets of paper in a
paper tray or the existence of certain output options. On some
printers there are sensors that allow these resources to be sensed.
Other printers, however, lack sensors that can detect (all of) the
properties of the resource. Because the printer needs to know of
the existence or properties of these resources for the printer to
function properly some other way of providing this information is
needed. The chosen way to solve this problem is to allow a
management application to write into objects which hold the
descriptive or existence values for printers that cannot sense the
values. Thus many of the objects in the MIB are given read-write
access, but a printer implementation might only permit a management
operation to change the value if the printer could not sense the
value itself. Therefore, the ability to change the value of a
read-write object may depend on the implementation of the agent.
Note that even though some objects explicitely state the behaviour
of conditional ability to change values, any read-write object may
act that way.
Generally, an object is given read-write access in the Printer MIB
specification if:
1.The object involves installation of a resource that some printers
cannot themselves detect. Therefore, external means are needed to
inform the printer of the installation. (Here external means
include using the operator console, or remote management
application) and
INTERNET-DRAFT 25
J.R. Turner, Sharp Laboratories of America
INTERNET-DRAFT
J.R. Turner, Sharp Laboratories of America
Expires June 3, 1997
2.The printer will behave differently if the installation of the
resource is reported than the printer would if the installation
were not reported; that is, the object is not to be used as a place
to put information not used by the printer, i.e., not a "PostIt".
Another way of saying this is that the printer believes that
information given it and acts as if the information were true. For
example, on a printer that cannot sense the size, if one paper size
is loaded, but another size is set into the paper size object, then
the printer will use the size that was set as its current paper
size in its imaging and paper handling.
The printer may get hints that it may not know about the existence
or properties of certain resources. For example, a paper tray may
be removed and re-inserted. When this removal and insertion
happens, the printer may either assume that a property, such as the
size of paper in the tray, has not changed or the printer may
change the value of the associated object to "unknown", as might be
done for the amount of paper in the tray. As long as the printer
acts according to the value in the object either strategy is
acceptable.
It is an implementation-specific matter as to whether or not MIB
object values are persistent across power cycles or cold starts.
It is particularly important that the values of the
prtMarkerLifeCount object persist throughout the lifetime of the
printer. Therefore, if the value of any MIB object persists across
power cycles, then the prtMarkerLifeCount object must also persist.
2.4. Enumerations
Enumerations (enums) are sets of symbolic values defined for use
with one or more objects. Some common enumeration sets are
assigned a symbolic data type name (textual convention). These
enumerations are listed at the beginning of this specification.
2.4.1. Registering Additional Enumerated Values
This working group has defined several type of enumerations. These
enumerations differ in the method employed to control the addition
of new enumerations. Throughout this document, references to
"enumeration (n)", where n can be 1, 2 or 3 can be found in the
various tables. The definitions of these types of enumerations
are:
enumeration (1) All the values are defined in the Printer MIB
specification (RFC for the Printer MIB). Additional enumerated
values require a new RFC. Type 1 enumerations are typically used
where changes to the enumeration are either unlikely or will have a
significant impact on the structure of the MIB or implementation of
the MIB in management applications.
Some criteria that suggest using a type 1 enumeration are:
INTERNET-DRAFT 26
J.R. Turner, Sharp Laboratories of America
INTERNET-DRAFT
J.R. Turner, Sharp Laboratories of America
Expires June 3, 1997
a) the set of values in the enumeration is thought to be known,
e.g., faceUp and faceDown
b) the enumeration defines a set of units of measure which must be
understood by a management application to be able to correctly
display the value of an object that measurement unit controls; and
c) the enumeration is tied to the structure of the MIB or the model
on which the MIB is based, e.g., the prtAlertGroup enumeration is
tied to the OIDs for the related tables.
enumeration (2) An initial set of values are defined in the
Printer MIB specification. Additional enumerated values are
registered after review by this working group. The initial versions
of the MIB will contain the values registered so far. After the MIB
is approved, additional values will be registered through IANA
after approval by this working group. The current set of approved
values should always be obtained from the IANA registry. Type 2
enumerations are typically used where it is important to insure
consistent usage of the enumeration values; that is, to insure that
the same entity does not get two different enumerations values, or
two different entities do not get the same enum value.
enumeration (3) An initial set of values are defined in the
Printer MIB specification. Additional enumerated values are
registered without working group review. The initial versions of
the MIB will contain the values registered so far. After the MIB
is approved, additional values will be registered through IANA
without approval by this working group. The current set of
approved values should always be obtained from the IANA registry.
Type 3 enumerations are used for enumerations that can be extended
without any controls; an example is the prtMarkerSuppliesType,
which can be extended as needed by any manufacturer to describe the
supplies required by a new printer.
3. Groups from other MIB Specifications
This section identifies the grups from other MIBs that shall be
supported to supplement and complete a printer MIB implementation.
The section also describes some of the less obvious characteristics
of the Printer MIB structure that are related to the inclusion of
these other MIB groups and/or objects.
3.1. System Group
All objects in the system group of MIB-II (RFC 1213) shall be
implemented; however, as described in paragraph 3.4, implementers
should carefully consider what constitutes the "system".
3.2. System Controller
The System Controller is represented by the Storage and Device
Groups of the Host Resources MIB (RFC 1514). These are the only
INTERNET-DRAFT 27

groups that are required to be implemented. Other Groups (System,
Running Software, Running Software Performance, and Installed
Software) may be implemented at the discretion of the implementor.
3.3. Interface Group objects
All objects in the Interfaces Group of MIB-II (RFC 1213) shall be
implemented.

CodedCharSet ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"A coded character set value that specifies both a set of
characters that may be used and an encoding (as one or
more
octets) that is used to represent the characters in the
set. These values are to be used to identify the encoding
employed for strings in the MIB where this is not fixed
by
the MIB.
Some objects that allow a choice of coded character set
are: the prtLocalizationCharacterSet object in the
LocalizationTable and prtInterpreterDefaultCharSetIn.
The prtGeneralCurrentLocalization and
prtConsoleLocalization
objects in turn contain the index in the
LocalizationTable
of the current localization (country, language, and coded
character set) of the `description' objects and the
console,
respectively.
The space of the coded character set enumeration has been
divide into three regions. The first region (3-999)
consists
of coded character sets that have been standardized by
some
standard setting organization. This region is intended
for
standards that do not have subset implementations. The
second region (1000-1999) is for the Unicode and ISO/IEC
10646
coded character sets together with a specification of a
(set
of) sub-repetoires that may occur. The third region
(>1999)
is intended for vendor specific coded character sets.
NOTE: Unicode and ISO 10646 character coded data may be
processed and stored in either Big Endian (most
significant
octet first) or Little Endian (least significant octet
first) order. Intel x86, VAX, and Alpha/AXP
architectures are
examples of Little Endian processor architectures.
Furthermore, in environments where either order may
occur,
INTERNET-DRAFT 31
J.R. Turner, Sharp Laboratories of America
INTERNET-DRAFT
J.R. Turner, Sharp Laboratories of America
Expires June 3, 1997
so-called Unicode BYTE ORDER MARK (BOM) character (which
is
ISO 10646 ZERO WIDTH NO BREAK SPACE), coded as FEFF in
two
octets and 0000FEFF in four octets is used at the
beginning
of the data as a signature to indicate the order of the
following data (See ISO 10646 Annex F). Thus either
ordering and BOM may occur in print data streams sent to
the
interpreter. However, ISO 8824/8825 (ASN.1/BER) used by
SNMP is quite clear that Big Endian order shall be used
and
BOM shall NOT be used in transmission in the protocol.
Transmitting Unicode in Big Endian order in SNMP should
not prove to be a hardship for Little Endian machines,
since SNMP ASN.1/BER requires integers to be transmitted
in Big Endian order as well. So SNMP implementations on
Little Endian machines are already reversing the order of
integers to make them Big Endian for transmission via
SNMP. Also Unicode characters are usually treated as
two-octet integers, not short text strings, so that it
will
be straightforward for Little Endian machines to reverse
the
order of Unicode character octets as well before
transmitting them and after receiving them via the SNMP
protocol.
Where a given coded character set may be known by more
than
one name, the most commonly known name is used as the
name
of the enumeration and other names are shown in the
comments. The comments also indicate where to find
detailed
information on the coded character set and briefly
characterize its relationship to other similar coded
character sets.
The current list of character sets and their enumerated
values used to reference them is contained in the IANA
Character Set registry. The enum value is indicated by
the MIBenum entry in the registry. The enum symbol is
indicated by the Alias that starts with `cs' for
character
set.
The IANA character sets registry is available via
anonymous ftp.
The ftp server is ftp.isi.edu.
The subdirectory is /in-notes/iana/assignments/.

to
whom that alert is routed. The following are the four
training levels of alerts:
Field Service - Alerts that typically require
advanced
training and technical knowledge of the
printer
and its sub-units. An example of a technical
person would be a manufacturer's Field
Service
representative, or other person formally
trained by the manufacturer or similar
representative.
Trained - Alerts that require an intermediate or
moderate
level of knowledge of the printer and its
sub-units. A typical examples of alerts that
a trained operator can handle is replacing
toner cartridges.
Untrained - Alerts that can be fixed without prior
training either because the action to correct
the alert is obvious or the printer can help
the
untrained person fix the problem. A typical
example of such an alert is reloading paper
trays and emptying output bins on a low end
printer.
Management - Alerts that have to do with overall
operation of and configuration of the
printer.
Examples of management events are
configuration

event for the implementation.
While there are some specific codes for many subunits, the
generic
codes should be used for most subunit alerts. The network
management
station can then query the subunit specified by
prtAlertGroup to
determine further subunit status and other subunit
information.
An agent shall not add two entries to the alert table for
the same
event, one containing a generic event code and the other
containing a
specific event code; the agent shall add only one entry in
the alert
table for each event; either generic (preferred) or
specific, not
both.
Implementation of the unary change event
alertRemovalOfBinaryChangeEntry(1801) is optional. When
implemented,
this alert code shall indicate to network management
stations that
the trailing edge of a binary change event has occurred and
the
corresponding alert entry has been removed from the alert
table. As
with all events, the alertRemovalOfBinaryChangeEntry(1801)
alert
shall be placed at the end of the alert table. Such an alert
table
entry shall specify the following information:
prtAlertSeverityLevel warningUnaryChangeEvent(4)
prtAlertTrainingLevel noInterventionRequired(7)
prtAlertGroup alert(18)
prtAlertGroupIndex the index of the row in the
alert
table of the binary change event
that this event has removed.

-- The Print Job Delivery Channel Group
--
-- Implementation of every object in this group is mandatory.
-- Print Job Delivery Channels are independent sources of print
data. Here,
-- print data is the term used for the information that is
-- used to construct printed pages and may have both data
-- and control aspects. The output of a channel is in a form
-- suitable for input to one of the interpreters as a
-- stream. A channel may be independently enabled (allowing
-- print data to flow) or disabled (stopping the flow of
-- print data). A printer may have one or more channels.
--
-- The Print Job Delivery Channel table describes the capabilities
of the
-- printer and not what is currently being performed by the
printer.
--
-- Basically, the print job delivery channel abstraction describes
-- the final processing step of getting the print data to an
-- interpreter. It might include some level of
-- decompression or decoding of print stream data.
-- channel. All of these aspects are hidden in the channel
-- abstraction.
--
-- There are many kinds of print job delivery channels; some of
which are based
-- on networks and others which are not. For example, a
-- channel can be a serial (or parallel) connection; it can
-- be a service, such as the Unix Line Printer Daemon (LPD),
-- offering services over a network connection (interface); or
-- it could be a disk drive into which a floppy disk with
-- the print data is inserted. Each print job delivery channel is
typically
-- identified by the electronic path and/or service protocol
-- used to deliver print data to a print data interpreter.
--
-- Channel example Implementation
--
-- serial port channel bi-directional data channel
-- parallel port channel often uni-directional channel
-- IEEE 1284 port channel bi-directional channel
-- SCSI port channel bi-directional
-- Apple PAP channel may be based on Local-, Ether-or
-- TokenTalk
-- LPD Server channel typically TCP/IP based, port 515
-- Novell Remote Printer typically SPX/IPX based channel

-- port 9100 channel HP and friends
-- Adobe AppSocket(9101) channel a bi-directional extension of LPD
--
-- It is easy to note that this is a mixed bag. There are
-- some physical connections over which no (or very meager)
-- protocols are run (e.g. the serial or old parallel ports)
-- and there are services which often have elaborate
-- protocols that run over a number of protocol stacks. In
-- the end, what is important is the delivery of print data
-- thru the channel.
--
-- The print job delivery channel sub-units are represented by the
-- Print Job Delivery Channel Group in the Model. It has a current
-- print job control language, which can be used to specify which
-- interpreter is to be used for the print data and to query and
change
-- environment variables used by the interpreters (and
-- Management Applications). There is also a default
-- interpreter that is to be used if an interpreter is not
-- explicitly specified using the Control Language.
-- The print job delivery channel table and its underlying
structure
--
-- The first seven items in the Print Job Delivery Channel Table
define the
-- "channel" itself. A channel typically depends on other
-- protocols and interfaces to provide the data that flows
-- thru the channel.
--
-- Control of a print job delivery channel is largely limited to
enabling
-- or disabling the entire channel itself. It is likely, however,
-- that more control of the process of accessing print data
-- will be needed over time. Thus, the ChannelType will
-- allow type-specific data to be associated with each
-- channel (using ChannelType specific groups in a fashion
-- analogous to the media specific MIBs that are associated
-- with the IANAIfType in the Interfaces Table). As a first
-- step in this direction, each channel will identify the
-- underlying Interface on which it is based. This is the
-- eighth object in each row of the table.

capable of using a specific PrtChannelType should be able

information that is available once the channel is in use.
The encoding and interpretation of the
prtChannelInformation
object is specific to channel type. The description of
each
PrtChannelType enum value for which prtChannelInformation
is
defined specifies the appropriate encoding and
interpretation,
including interaction with other objects. For channel
types
that do not specify a prtChannelInformation value, its
value
shall be null (0 length).
When a new PrtChannelType enumeration value is registered,
its
accompanying description must specify the encoding and
interpretation of the prtChannelInformation value for the
channel type. prtChannelInformation semantics for an
existing
PrtChannelType may be added or amended in the same manner
as
described in section 2.4.1 for type 2 enumeration values.
The prtChannelInformation specifies values for a collection
of
channel attributes, represented as text according to the
following rules:
1. The prtChannelInformation is coded in the NVT ASCII
character set. It is not affected by localization.
2. The prtChannelInformation is a list of entries
representing
the attribute values. Each entry consists of the
following
items, in order:
a. a keyword, composed of alphabetic characters (A-Z,
a-z), that identifies a channel attribute,
b. an Equals Sign (=) to delimit the keyword,
c. a data value, consisting of NVT ASCII graphics
characters (codes 32-126),
d. a Line Feed character (code 10) to delimit the data
value.
No other characters shall be present.
Keywords are case-sensitive. Conventionally, keywords
are
capitalized (including each word of a multi-word
keyword),
INTERNET-DRAFT 103

and, since they occupy space in the
prtChannelInformation,
they are kept short.
3. If a channel attribute has multiple values, it is
represented by multiple entries with the same keyword,
each
specifying one value. Otherwise, there shall be at
most
one entry for each attribute.
4. By default, entries may appear in any order. If there
are
ordering constraints for particular entries, these must
be
specified in their definitions.
5. The prtChannelInformation value may represent
information
that is not normally coded in textual form, or that is
coded
in a character set other than NVT ASCII. In these
cases,
whatever symbolic representation is conventionally used
for
the information should be used for encoding the
prtChannelInformation. (For instance, a binary port
value
might be represented as a decimal number, Unicode would
be represented in UTF-8 format.)
6. For each PrtChannelType for which prtChannelInformation
entries are defined, the descriptive text associated
with the
PrtChannelType enumeration value shall specify the
following
information for each entry:
Title: Brief description phrase, e.g.: 'Port
name'
'Service Name'
Keyword: The keyword value, eg: 'Port' or
'Service'
Syntax: The encoding of the entry value, if it
cannot be directly represented by NVT
ASCII,
Status: 'Mandatory', 'Optional', or
'Conditionally
Mandatory'
Multiplicity: 'Single' or 'Multiple' to indicate
whether
the entry may be present multiple
times,

types are added."

Appendix A - Glossary of Terms
Addressability - on the marker, the number of distinctly setable
marking units (pels) per unit of addressability unit; for example,
300 dots per inch is expressed as 300 per 1000 Thousandths Of
Inches and 4 dots per millimeter is 4 per 1000 Micrometers.
Addressability is not resolution because marks that are one
addressability position apart may not be independently resolvable
by the eye due to factors such as gain in the area of marks so they
overlap or nearly touch.
Alert - a reportable event for which there is an entry in the alert
table
Bin - an output sub-unit which may or may not be removable
Binary Change Event - an event which comes in pairs; the leading
edge event and the trailing edge event. The leading edge event
enters a state from which there is only one exit. A binary change
event may be critical or non-critical. See unary change event.
Bursting - the process by which continuous media is separated into
individual sheets, typically by bursting along pre-formed
perforations.
Channel - A term used to describe a single source of data which is
presented to a printer. The model that we use in describing a
INTERNET-DRAFT 123

printer allows for an arbitrary number of channels. Multiple
channels can exist on the same physical port. This is commonly
done over EtherNet ports where EtherTalk, TCP/IP, and SPX/IPX
protocols can be supplying different data streams simultaneously to
a single printer on the same physical port.
Collation - in multiple copy output, placing the pages from
separate copies into separate ordered sets, ready for binding.
Control Language - a data syntax or language for controlling the
printer through the print data channel.
Critical Alert - an alert triggered by an event which leads to a
state in which printing is no longer possible; the printer is
stopped
Decollating - the process by which the individual parts within a
multi-part form are separated and sorted into separate stacks for
each part.
Description - information about the configuration and capabilities
of the printer and its various sub-units
DPA - ISO 10175 Document Printing Application standard. A standard
for a client server protocol for a print system, including (1)
submitting print jobs to and (2) managing print jobs in a spooler
Event - a state change in the printer
Group - a collection of objects that represent a type of sub-unit
of the printer
IANA - Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. See STD 2, RFC 1700.
Idempotent - Idempotence is the property of an operation that
results in the same state no matter how many times it is executed
(at least once). This is a property that is shared by true
databases in which operations on data items only change the state
of the data item and do not have other side effects. Because the
SNMP data model is that of operations on a database, SNMP MIB
objects should be assumed to be idempotent. If a MIB object is
defined in a non-idempotent way, the this data model can break in
subtle ways when faced with packet loss, multiple managers, and
other common conditions.
In order to fulfill the common need for actions to result from SNMP
Set operations, SNMP MIB objects can be modeled such that the
change in state from one state to another has the side effect of
causing an action. It is important to note that with this model,
an SNMP operation that sets a value equal to its current value will
cause no action. This retains the idempotence of a single command,
while allowing actions to be initiated by SNMP SET requests.

Input - a tray or bin from which instances of the media are
obtained and fed into the Media Path
Interpreter - the embodiment of an algorithm that processes a data
stream consisting of a Page Description Language (PDL) and/or a
Control Language.
Localization - the specification of human language, country, and
character set needed to present information to people in their
native languages.
Management Application (a.k.a. Manager) - a program which queries
and controls one or more managed nodes
Management Station - a physical computer on which one or more
management applications can run
Media Path - the mechanisms that transport instances of the media
from an input, through the marker, possibly through media buffers
and duplexing pathways, out to the output with optional finishing
applied. The inputs and outputs are not part of the Media Path.
Non-critical Alert - an alert triggered by a reportable event which
does not lead to a state in which printing is no longer possible;
such an alert may lead to a state from which printing may no longer
be possible in the future, such as the low toner state or the alert
may be pure informational, such as a configuration change at the
printer.
Output - a bin or stacker which accepts instances of media that
have been processed by a printer
Page Description Language (PDL) - a data syntax or language for the
electronic representation of a document as a sequence of page
images.
Printer - a physical device that takes media from an input source,
produces marks on that media according to some page description or
page control language and puts the result in some output
destination, possibly with finishing applied.
Printing - the entire process of producing a printed document from
generation of the file to be printed, choosing printing properties,
selection of a printer, routing, queuing, resource management,
scheduling, and finally printing including notifying the user
Reportable event - an event that is deemed of interest to a
management station watching the printer
Status - information regarding the current operating state of the
printer and its various sub-units. This is an abstraction of the
exact physical condition of the printer.

Sub-mechanism - a distinguishable part of a sub-unit
Sub-unit - a part of the printer which may be a physical part, such
as one of the input sources or a logical part such as an
interpreter.
Tray - an input sub-unit which is typically removable
Unary Change Event - an event that indicates a change of state of
the printer, but to a state which is (often) just as valid as the
state that was left, and from which no return is necessary. See
binary change event.
Visible state - that portion of the state of the printer that can
be examined by a management application
Warning - a non-critical alert. See non-critical alert.
Appendix B - Media Size Names from ISO/IEC 10175 Document Printing
Architecture
For the convenience of management application developers, this
appendix lists the standardized media size names from ISO/IEC 10175
Document Printing Application (DPA). Management applications that
present a dialogue for choosing or displaying media size are
encouraged to present relevant names from this list to avoid
requiring the user to remember the physical dimensions used to
describe the size of the media. A printer implementing the Printer
MIB has no knowledge of these names, however; all media sizes in
the MIB are given in terms of media dimensions as the values of
prtMediaDimFeedDir and prtInputChosenMediaDimXFeedDir.

Appendix C - Media Names
For the convenience of management application developers, this
appendix lists the standardized media names from ISO/IEC 10175
Document Printing Application (DPA). Management applications that
present a dialogue for choosing media may wish to use these names
as an alternative to separately specifying, size, color, and/or
type. Using standard media names will mean that a single management
application dealing with printers from different vendors and under
different system mangers will tend to use the same names for the
same media. If selection of media by name is used, the attributes
(size, type or color) implied by the name must be explicitly mapped
to the appropriate object (prtInputDeclared-MediaDimFeedDir,
prtInputDeclaredMediaDimXFeedDir, prtInputMediaType and
prtInputMediaColor) in the MIB. The object prtInputMediaName is
intended for display to an operator and is purely descriptive. The
value in prtInputMediaName is not interpreted by the printer so
using a standard name for this value will not change any of the
other media attributes nor will it cause an alert if the media in
the input sub-unit does not match the name.

Appendix D - Roles of Users
Background
The need for "Role Models" stemmed in large part from the need to
understand the importance of any given proposed object for the MIB.
Many times the real world need for a proposed object would be
debated within the group; the debate would typically result in the
need to describe the potential usage of the object in terms of a
"live" person performing some type of printing-related task.
Determining the value of a proposed object through identification
of the associated human users was found to be so common that a more
formalized model was required for consistent analysis. The model
describing categories of human-oriented tasks is called "Role
Models" in this document.
In developing the Role Models it was necessary to identify the
common, primary tasks that humans typically face when interacting
with a printer and its related printing system(s). It was expected
that certain kinds of tasks would serve to identify the various
Role Models.
In presenting the set of Role Models, the set of "Common Print
System Tasks" are first presented, followed by the set of Role
Model definitions. Finally, a simple matrix is presented in which
Role Models and Tasks are cross-compared.

Upon researching the many tasks encountered by humans in dealing
with printers and printing systems, the following were found to be
pervasive within any operating environment:
Printer job state - Determine the status of a job without a
printer.
Printer capabilities - Determine the current capabilities of a
printer, for example, the available media sizes, two-sided
printing, a particular type of interpreter, etc.
Printer job submission - Submit a print job to a printer.
Printer job removal - Remove a job from a printer.
Notification of events - Receive notification of the existence of
a
defined printer event. An event can be of many types,
including
warnings, errors, job stage completion (e.g., "job done"),
etc.
Printer configuration - Query the current configuration of a
printer.
Printer consumables - Determine the current state of any and all
consumables within a printer.
Print job identification - Determine the identification of a job
within a printer.
Internal printer status - Determine the current status of the
printer.
Printer identification - Determine the identity of a printer.
Printer location - Determine the physical location of a printer.
Local system configuration - Determine various aspects of the
current configuration of the local system involved with the
operation of a printer.
These "tasks" cover a large spectrum of requirements surrounding
the operation of a printer in a network environment. This list
serves as the basis for defining the various Role Models described
below.
Proposed Role Models
Following is the list of "Role Models" used to evaluate the
requirements for any given Printer MIB object. Note that the
keyword enclosed in parentheses represents an abbreviation for the
particular Role Model in the matrix described later in this
document.
User (USER) - A person or application that submits print jobs to
the printer; typically viewed as the "end user" within the overall
printing environment.
Operator (OP) - A person responsible for maintaining a printer on
a day-to-day basis, including such tasks as filling empty media
trays, emptying full output trays, replacing toner cartridges,
clearing simple paper jams, etc.

Technician (TECH) - A person responsible for repairing a
malfunctioning printer, performing routine preventive maintenance,
and other tasks that typically require advanced training on the
printer internals. An example of a "technician" would be a
manufacturer's Field Service representative, or other person
formally trained by the manufacturer or similar representative.
System Manager (MGR) - A person responsible for configuration and
troubleshooting of components involved in the overall printing
environment, including printers, print queues and network
connectivity issues. This person is typically responsible for
ensuring the overall operational integrity of the print system
components, and is typically viewed as the central point of
coordination among all other Role Models.
Help Desk (HELP) - A person responsible for supporting Users in
their printing needs, including training Users and troubleshooting
Users' printing problems.
Asset Manager (AM) - A person responsible for managing an
organization's printing system assets (primarily printers). Such a
person needs to be able to identify and track the location of
printing assets on an ongoing basis.
Capacity Planner (CP) - A person responsible for tracking the
usage of printing resources on an ongoing basis for the purpose of
planning printer acquisitions and/or placement of printers based on
usage trends.
Installer (INST) - A person or application responsible for
installing or configuring printing system components on a local
system.
Accountant (ACCT) - A person responsible for tracking the usage of
printing resources on an ongoing basis for the purpose of charging
Users for resources used.
Matrix of Common Print System Tasks and Role Models
To better understand the relationship between the set of defined
"Common Print System Tasks" and the various "Role Models," the
following matrix is provided.
It is important to recognize that many of the tasks will appear to
be applicable to many of the Role Models. However, when
considering the actual context of a task, it is very important to
realize that often the actual context of a task is such that the
Role Model can change.
For example, it is obvious that a "System Manager" must be able to
submit print jobs to a printer; however, when submitting a print
job, a person identified as a "System Manager" is actually
operating in the context of a "User" in this case; hence, the
INTERNET-DRAFT 134

requirement to submit a print job is not listed as a requirement
for a System Manager.
Conversely, while a "User" must be able to remove a job previously
submitted to a printer, an "Operator" is often expected to be able
to remove any print job from any printer; hence, print job removal
is a (subtly different) requirement for both the "User" and
"Operator" Role Models.
