From:  Tom Hastings
Date:  4/29/98
File:  001-medium-xxx-consumed.doc


Status:  APPROVED, Wednesday, April 29, 1998:  No comments were received
during the Last Call.  This proposal was reviewed at the PWG meeting, on
Friday, April 10, 1998.  It was agreed to send it out for a two-week WG
Last Call.  Any comments are due by Monday, April 27, 1998.

Problem:  The Job Monitoring MIB V1.0 does not have a way for an
accounting program to charge for media type or media size consumed.  The
current mediumConsumed in the name of the medium, which may or may not
be known to the accounting program.

Suggested Solution:  This proposal to register two new accounting
attributes to be used with the approved PWG Job Monitoring MIB standard.
These new attributes count media by medium type name and medium size
name.  The current PWG Job Monitoring MIB specifications for
"mediumRequested" (medium type enum, medium name and medium size name)
and mediumConsumed" (medium name) are:


        mediumRequested(170),             JmMediumTypeTC
                                          AND/OR
                                          JmJobStringTC (SIZE(0..63))
            INTEGER:  MULTI-ROW:  The type
            AND/OR
            OCTETS:  MULTI-ROW:  the name of the medium that is required
            by the job.

            NOTE - The name (JmJobStringTC) values correspond to the
            prtInputMediaName object in the Printer MIB [print-mib] and
            the values of the IPP 'media' attribute.

        mediumConsumed(171),              Integer32 (-2..2147483647)
                                          AND
                                          JmJobStringTC (SIZE(0..63))
            INTEGER:  MULTI-ROW:  The number of sheets
            AND
            OCTETS:  MULTI-ROW:  the name of the medium that has been
            consumed so far whether those sheets have been processed on
            one side or on both.

            This attribute SHALL have both Integer32 and OCTET STRING
            (represented as  JmJobStringTC) values.

            NOTE - The name (JmJobStringTC) values correspond to the
            name values of the prtInputMediaName object in the Printer
            MIB [print-mib].

Suggested text for the registration of the mediumTypeConsumed and
mediumSizeConsumed attributes:

        mediumTypeConsumed(174),          Integer32 (-2..2147483647)
                                          AND
                                          JmJobStringTC (SIZE(0..63))
            INTEGER:  MULTI-ROW:  The number of sheets of the indicated
            medium type that has been consumed so far whether those
            sheets have been processed on one side or on both
            AND
            OCTETS:  MULTI-ROW:  the name of that medium type.

            This attribute SHALL have both Integer32 and OCTET STRING
            (represented as JmJobStringTC) values.

            NOTE - The type name (JmJobStringTC) values correspond to
            the type name values of the prtInputMediaType object in the
            Printer MIB [print-mib].  Values are: 'stationery',
            'transparency', 'envelope', etc. These medium type names
            correspond to the enum values of JmMediumTypeTC used in the
            mediumRequested attribute.

        mediumSizeConsumed(175),          Integer32 (-2..2147483647)
                                          AND
                                          JmJobStringTC (SIZE(0..63))
            INTEGER:  MULTI-ROW:  The number of sheets of the indicated
            medium size that has been consumed so far whether those
            sheets have been processed on one side or on both
            AND
            OCTETS:  MULTI-ROW:  the name of that medium size.

            This attribute SHALL have both Integer32 and OCTET STRING
            (represented as JmJobStringTC) values.

            NOTE - The size name (JmJobStringTC) values correspond to
            the size name values in the Printer MIB [print-mib] Appendix
            B.  Values are:  'letter', 'a', 'iso-a4', 'jis-b4', etc.
