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 may have
 mechanical problems.  In the management of the physical 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.  As an example of the use of
 status, a management application must be able to determine if the
 various 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

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 6] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

 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 the 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 these kinds 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 database 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 database is needed.

1.4. The Internet-Standard Management Framework

 For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
 Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
 RFC 3410 [RFC3410].
 Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
 the Management Information Base or MIB.  MIB objects are generally
 accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
 Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
 Structure of Management Information (SMI).  This memo specifies a MIB
 module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
 RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
 [RFC2580].

1.5. Requirement Levels

 The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
 "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
 document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
 Compliant implementations must follow this specification.

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 7] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

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 that 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 Group in the model represents
 the general printer sub-unit.  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.

2.2.1.1. International Considerations

 The localization portion of the general printer sub-unit is
 responsible for identifying the natural language, country, and
 character set in which certain character strings are expressed in

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 10] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

 this MIB.  Character sets are identified in this MIB using the
 IANACharset textual convention imported from the IANA Character Set
 MIB [CHARMIB].
 There may be one or more localizations supported per printer.  The
 available localizations are specified in the Localization table.
 Localization SHOULD only be performed on string objects which are
 named 'xxxDescription' (sub-unit descriptions) or
 'prtConsoleDisplayBufferText' (local console text).
 The agent SHALL return all other character strings in coded character
 sets in which code positions 0-127 (decimal) are US-ASCII [ASCII].
 The agent SHOULD return all other character strings in the UTF-8
 [RFC3629] transform of ISO 10646 [ISO10646], to conform with the IETF
 Policy on Character Sets and Languages [RFC2277].  Control codes
 (code positions 0-31 and 127 decimal) SHALL NOT be used unless
 specifically required in the DESCRIPTION of an object.
 The character set portion of the general printer Localization table
 is responsible for identifying the possible character sets for the
 operator console, and network management requests for display
 objects.  There may be one or more character sets per printer.
 Default coded character sets for interpreter unit and output octets
 are described in the interpreter sub-unit by
 prtInterpreterDefaultCharSetIn and prtInterpreterDefaultCharSetOut.
 These input/output character sets may be overridden by commands in
 the interpreter language itself.

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.  The
 Input Group in the model represents these.  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 one tray has both a manual and
 auto feeding option, then this is two input sub-units if these two
 sources can be (must be) separately selected.  However, the above
 would be considered one input sub-unit if putting a sheet in the
 manual feed slot overrides feeding from the contents of the tray.  In
 the second case there is no way to separately select or address the
 manual feed slot.

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 11] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

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 media 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.  The Output Group in the model represents the one or more
 output mechanisms contained by a printer.  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 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 Group in the model represents the
 finisher sub-units.  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 described in the companion Finisher MIB
 [RFC3806].
 The model does not specify the exact interaction and sequencing
 between an output device and its associated finisher.  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

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 12] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

 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 Group in the model represents the marker sub-units and
 their associated supplies.  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 image setter
 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.  The Media Path Group in the model
 represents these.  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, duplex 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

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 13] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

 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 is
 marked.

2.2.8. System Controller

 The System Controller is the sub-unit upon which the software
 components of the Printer run.  The Host Resources MIB [RFC2790]
 represents the System Controller in the model.  The Host Resources
 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 [RFC1213], [RFC2863].  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 sub-
 units are represented by the Print Job Delivery Channel Group in the
 Model.  The electronic path typically identifies each channel 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 that 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.

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 14] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

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 Group in the Model represents the interpreter sub-
 units. 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.  The Console Group in the model represents
 this console sub-unit.  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 a
 critical event, initiating a trap.  The exception to this rule is
 when the "alertRemovalofBinaryChangeEntry" 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, and detailed location within the sub-unit, alert code and
 description of each alert that is currently active within the
 printer.  Each reportable event causes an entry to be made in the
 Alert Table.

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 15] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

2.2.13.1. Status and Alerts

 Summary information about the state of the printer is reported at
 three separate levels: (1) The status of the printer as a whole is
 reported in the Host Resources MIB, (2) The status of various sub-
 units is reported in the principle table of the Group that represents
 the sub-unit, and (3) Alert codes are 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 terminology).  A trained
 service person is typically necessary to make it available.
 Moving on-line or off-line - The printer is either off-line, in the
 process of moving off-line or moving back on-line.  For example, on
 printers with motorized hoppers, reloading paper involves a
 transition to off-line to open the paper bin, filling the hopper and,
 finally, a transition back to on-line as the paper bin is
 repositioned for printing.
 Standby - The printer or sub-unit is not immediately available but
 can accept new instructions.
 Available - The printer or subunit is functioning normally.
 Idle - The printer or subunit is immediately available.
 Active - The printer or subunit is performing its primary function.
 Busy - The printer or subunit is performing a function (not
 necessarily its primary function) and is not immediately available
 for its primary function.

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 16] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

 The Host Resources MIB [RFC2790] 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 values of the
 three printer-related objects in the Host Resources MIB relate to the
 states named above:
 Printer       hrDeviceStatus hrPrinterStatus hrPrinterDetected-
 Status                                       ErrorState

                                              serviceRequested
 Critical       down(5)        other(1)       could be: jammed,
 Alert Active                                 noPaper, noToner,
                                              coverOpen, or
                                              serviceRequested

 Moving         down(5)        warmup(5)
 on-line
 Standby        running(2)     other(1)
 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 Resources 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.

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 17] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

 Detailed status per sub-unit is reported in the sub-unit status
 fields.

      is still 'operational'.  An example would be high
      number of soft errors on a disk.  A value of
      testing(4), indicates that the device is not

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 PrtSubUnitStatusTC is an integer that is the sum of 5 distinct
 values, Availability, Non-Critical, Critical, On-line, and
 Transitioning.  These values are:
 Availability                           value
         Available and Idle               0       000'b
         Available and Standby            2       010'b
         Available and Active             4       100'b
         Available and Busy               6       110'b
         Unavailable and OnRequest        1       001'b
         Unavailable because Broken       3       011'b

         State is On-Line                 0
         State is Off-Line               32
 Transitioning
         At intended state                0
         Transitioning to intended state 64

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 20] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

 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 an 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
 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

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 21] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

 when that is accomplished.  The trailing edge event 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 unary 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 unary alerts that would overflow the storage capacity of the
 table.  When the table is full and new alerts need to be added, an
 old alert to be deleted should be chosen using the following rules:
 1. Find a non-critical unary alert and delete it.  If there are
    multiple non-critical unary alerts, it is suggested that the
    oldest one is chosen.  If there are no non-critical unary alerts,
    then,
 2. Find a non-critical binary alert and delete it.  If there are
    multiple non-critical binary alerts, it is suggested that the
    oldest one is chosen.  If there are no non-critical binary alerts,
    then,

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 22] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

 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 implementers 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.
 In the event that a critical binary alert has been deleted out of the
 alert table; when space allows and the alert condition still exists,
 the alert should be re-added to the alert table even if there was no
 subsequent transition into the associated state.  It is recommended
 that this be done for non-critical binary alerts as well.  Note that
 the new alert entry will not have the same index as the original
 entry that was moved out of the table.
 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.  The management application may want to re-acquire the
 Printer state and check for state changes that it did not observe in
 the Alert Table if such gaps are detected.

2.3. Read-Write Objects

 Some objects in the printer MIB reflect the existence or amount of a
 given resource within the printer.  Some examples of such resources
 are the size and number of sheets in a paper tray or the existence of
 certain output options.  Some printers have automatic sensors for
 these resources.  Most printers lack sensors for every property of
 every resource.  The management application is allowed to write into
 objects that hold descriptive or existence values for printers that
 cannot sense these values.  The ability to change the value of a
 read- write object may depend on the implementation of the agent.
 Many objects in the MIB are given read-write access, but a printer
 implementation might only permit a management application to change
 the value if the printer can not sense the value itself.  Note that
 even though some objects explicitly state the behavior of conditional
 ability to change values, any read-write object may act this 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

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 23] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

 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
    "sticky-note". 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.
 3. 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.
 4. 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.  Commonly used enumeration sets are assigned a
 symbolic data type name (textual convention), rather than being
 specified in the SYNTAX clause of each individual object definition.
 Textual conventions defined in the Printer MIB or the companion IANA
 Printer MIB are extensible by RFC publication or by Designated Expert
 Review (see the 'IANA Considerations' section of this Printer MIB and
 the DESCRIPTION clause in MODULE-IDENTITY of IANA Printer MIB).  All
 of these textual conventions are:
 a) used more than once in the Printer MIB itself; or
 b) imported and used in the companion Finisher MIB; or
 c) imported and used in any other, including vendor private, MIB
    modules.

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 24] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

 The Printer MIB has also defined the following special values for use
 with objects of the syntax "Integer32" to define conditions that are
 outside of the normal numeric range:  other(-1), unknown(-2), and
 partial(-3).  The 'partial' value means that there is some supply
 remaining (but the amount is indeterminate) or there is some capacity
 remaining (but the amount is indeterminate).  The Integer32 range
 field indicates in which objects these special values are valid.

2.4.1. Registering Additional Enumerated Values

 The Printer MIB and the companion IANA Printer MIB each defines one
 category of textual convention, according to the process employed to
 control the addition of new enumerations:
 Type 1 - All of the legal values are defined in the Printer MIB.
 Additional enumerated values require the publication of a new Printer
 MIB.
 Type 2 - All of the legal values are registered in the IANA Printer
 MIB.  Additional enumerated values require a Designated Expert Review
 defined in "Guidelines for Writing an IANA Considerations Section in
 RFCs" [RFC2434].  The Designated Expert will be selected by the IETF
 Area Director(s) of the Applications Area.

3. Groups from other MIB Specifications

 This section identifies the groups 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.

3.1. System Group

 All objects in the system group of MIB-II [RFC1213] shall be
 implemented; however, as described in paragraph 2.4, implementers
 should carefully consider what constitutes the "system".

3.2. System Controller

 The storage and device groups of the Host Resources MIB [RFC2790]
 shall be implemented to support the printer(s) system controller, and
 any supporting devices.  If deemed appropriate by the implementer,
 other groups of the Host Resources MIB (System, Running Software,
 Running Software Performance, and Installed Software) may be
 implemented.  Because of the structure of the Host Resources MIB, the
 devices constituting the system controller are at the same level as
 the printer.

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 25] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

3.3. Interface Group objects

 All objects in the Interfaces Group of MIB-II [RFC1213] shall be
 implemented for all print information interfaces to the printer,
 including non-network interfaces.

3.3.1. Interface Types

 The interfaces group of RFC 1213 [RFC1213] contains only a partial
 list of interface types that can be specified in the "ifType" object.
 For a complete list of interface types, refer to the IANA registry at
 "ftp://ftp.isi.edu/mib/iana.mib/ianaiftype.mib"

4. Differences from RFC 1759

 This document supersedes and replaces RFC 1759.  However, a compliant
 implementation of RFC 1759 is also compliant with this document.  The
 following changes to RFC 1759 are included:  (See the printmib
 REVISION/DESCRIPTION clause for additional details of changes.)
  1. Minor editorial corrections and changes. Updated the cover page

and added the "SNMP Management Framework" boilerplate to section

    1.
  1. Updated figure 2 to use MIB names instead of RFC numbers.
  1. Updated Coded Character Set description and IANA registration

process.

  1. Change hrPrinterDetectedErrorState "coverOpen" (bit 4) to

"doorOpen" per RFC 2790.

  1. Added second octet of hrPrinterDetectedErrorState as partially

described and assigned in the updated Host Resources MIB (RFC

    2790).
  1. Remove fixed association of hrDeviceStatus (warning/down) from

hrPrinterDetetctedErrorState per RFC 2790.

  1. Instead of showing bit 15 as "not assigned" in the quote from RFC

2790 in the hrPrinterDetectedErrorState object, removed that from

    the tabular form and added it as a sentence, because the RFC
    doesn't show bit 15 in the tabular form.
  1. Clarified the international considerations.

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 26] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

  1. Extended the Alert Table and PrtMarkerSuppliesSupplyUnit textual

conventions to include values from the Finisher MIB.

  1. Clarified alerts based on unary vs. binary change events.
  1. Added (optional) unary change event

alertRemovalOfBinaryChangeEntry(1801).

  1. Establish a convention for contact information for

prtGeneralCurrentOperator and prtGeneralServicePerson.

  1. Added prtAuxiliarySheetStartupPage PresentOnOff
  1. Added prtAuxiliarySheetBannerPage PresentOnOff

  1. Created five OBJECT-GROUPs (prtAuxilliarySheetGroup,

prtInputSwitchingGroup, prtGeneralV2Group, prtAlertTableV2Group,

    prtChannelV2Group).  Added the nine new objects to them
    (prtAuxiliarySheetStartupPage, prtAuxiliarySheetBannerPage,
    prtGeneralPrinterName, prtGeneralSerialNumber,
    prtAlertCriticalEvents, prtAlertAllEvents,
    prtInputMediaLoadTimeout, prtInputNextIndex,
    prtChannelInformation).  Created one new NOTIFICATION-GROUP
    (prtAlertTrapGroup) to contain printerV2Alert.  Included the new
    OBJECT-GROUPs and the NOTIFICATION_GROUP in prtMIBCompliance, all
    in GROUP (not MANDATORY-GROUP) clauses.  The nine new objects are
    optional, i.e., this document is backward compatible with RFC
    1759.

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 27] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

  1. prtAlertTime is strongly recommended.

"CapacityUnit" to "PrtCapacityUnitTC", and "SubUnitStatus" to

    "PrtSubUnitStatusTC"
  1. All objects with a MAX-ACCESS of read-write now have a MIN-ACCESS

of read-only.

  1. Added 'IANA Considerations' and 'Internationalization

Considerations' as top level sections, per IETF guidelines.

    object in all tables.
  1. Added ranges to all objects with a syntax of Integer32.
  1. Revised the description clause for prtAlertGroupIndex.
  1. Added additional text to the description clause for

prtMediaPathEntry, prtChannelEntry, prtInterpreterEntry, and

    printerV2Alert.
  1. Added text to section 2.4 to explain the usage of textual

conventions in this MIB and others. Also added a note defining

    the common usage of the enumerations 'other(-1)' and 'unknown(-2)'
  1. Changed range of prtStorageRefSeqNumber, prtDeviceRefSeqNumber,

and prtConsoleLightIndex from (0..65535) to (1..65535) since index

    values cannot be zero.  (Typo in RFC 1759)
  1. The PWG Standard for Standardized Media Names is now recommended

      The printer will break alerts into these different training
      levels.  It is the responsibility of a management application
      in the system to determine how a particular alert is handled
      and how and 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
          subunits.  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
          knowledge of the printer and its subunits.  A typical
          example of such an alert is replacing a toner cartridge.
      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 or 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 such
          management events are configuration change of subunits."

  DESCRIPTION
      "The code that describes the type of alert for this entry in

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 51] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

      the table.  Binary change event alerts describe states of the
      subunit while unary change event alerts describe a single
      event.  The same alert code can be used for a binary change
      event or a unary change event, depending on implementation.
      Also, the same alert code can be used to indicate a critical
      or non-critical (warning) alert, depending on implementation.
      The value of prtAlertSeverityLevel specifies binary vs. unary
      and critical vs. non-critical for each 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.
      prtAlertLocation        unknown (-2)
      prtAlertCode            alertRemovalOfBinaryChangeEntry(1801)
      prtAlertDescription     <description or null string>
      prtAlertTime            the value of sysUpTime at
                              the time of the removal of the
                              binary change event from the
                              alert table.
      Optionally, the agent may generate a trap coincident with

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 52] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

      removing the binary change event and placing the unary change
      event alertRemovalOfBinaryChangeEntry(1801) in the alert
      table.  For such a trap, the prtAlertIndex sent with the above
      trap parameters shall be the index of the
      alertRemovalOfBinaryChangeEvent row that was added to the
      prtAlertTable; not the index of the row that was removed from

  DESCRIPTION
      "Printer MIB v2.
      Moved all enum groups to be maintained by IANA into new TCs
         within the ianaPrinterMIB, which is contained in this
         document.
      New TCs created from enums defined within RFC 1759 Objects:
         PrtPrintOrientationTC, PrtLocalizedDescriptionStringTC,
         PrtConsoleDescriptionStringTC, PrtChannelStateTC,
         PrtOutputStackingOrderTC, PrtOutputPageDeliveryOrientationTC,
         PrtMarkerCounterUnitTC, PrtMarkerSuppliesSupplyUnitTC,
         PrtMarkerSuppliesClassTC, PrtMarkerAddressabilityUnitTC,
         PrtMarkerColorantRoleTC, PrtMediaPathMaxSpeedPrintUnitTC,
         PrtInterpreterTwoWayTC, and PrtAlertSeverityLevelTC.
      The following four TCs have been deprecated:
         MediaUnit (replaced by PrtMediaUnitTC),
         CapacityUnit (replaced by PrtCapacityUnitTC),
         SubUnitStatus (replaced by PrtSubUnitStatusTC),
         CodedCharSet (replaced by IANACharset in IANA Charset MIB)
      Five new OBJECT-GROUPs: prtAuxilliarySheetGroup,
         prtInputSwitchingGroup, prtGeneralV2Group,
         prtAlertTableV2Group, prtChannelV2Group.
      Nine new objects added to those groups:
         prtAuxiliarySheetStartupPage, prtAuxiliarySheetBannerPage,
         prtGeneralPrinterName, prtGeneralSerialNumber,
         prtAlertCriticalEvents, prtAlertAllEvents,

         prtInputMediaLoadTimeout, prtInputNextIndex,
         prtChannelInformation.
      SYNTAX range changed from (0..65535) to (1..65535) for the
         index objects prtStorageRefSeqNumber, prtDeviceRefSeqNumber,
         and prtConsoleLightIndex.
      SYNTAX range changed from (0..65535) to (0..2147483647) for the
         objects prtStorageRefIndex and prtDeviceRefIndex to agree
         with the Host Resources MIB.
      Defined a range for the objects with a SYNTAX of Integer32:
         prtOutputDefaultIndex, prtInputMediaDimFeedDirDeclared,
         prtInputMediaDimXFeedDirDeclared, prtInputMaxCapacity,
         prtInputCurrentLevel, prtInputMediaDimFeedDirChosen,
         prtInputMediaDimXFeedDirChosen, prtInputMediaWeight,
         prtInputMediaFormParts, prtOutputIndex,
         prtOutputMaxCapacity, prtOutputRemainingCapacity,
         prtOutputMaxDimFeedDir, prtOutputMaxDimXFeedDir,
         prtOutputMinDimFeedDir, prtOutputMinDimXFeedDir,
         prtMarkerAddressibilityFeedDir,
         prtMarkerAddressibilityXFeedDir, prtMarkerNorthMargin,
         prtMarkerSouthMargin, prtMarkerWestMargin,
         prtMarkerEastMargin, prtMarkerSuppliesMaxCapacity,
         prtMarkerSuppliesLevel, prtMarkerColorantTonality,
         prtMediaPathMaxSpeed, prtMediaPathMaxMediaFeedDir,
         prtMediaPathMaxMediaXFeedDir, prtMediaPathMinMediaFeedDir,
         prtMediaPathMinMediaXFeedDir, prtChannelIndex,
         prtChannelCurrentJobCntlLangIndex, prtInterpreterIndex,
         prtChannelDefaultPageDescLangIndex, prtConsoleOnTime,
         prtInterpreterFeedAddressibility, prtConsoleOffTime,
         prtInterpreterXFeedAddressibility, prtAlertIndex,
         prtAlertGroupIndex, prtAlertLocation.
      Changed SYNTAX from Integer32 to InterfaceIndexOrZero for
         prtChannelIfIndex.
      Changed MAX-ACCESS of prtAlertIndex from not-accessible to
         Read-only and added a compliance statement to allow a
         MIN-ACCESS of accessible-for-notify.
      One new NOTIFICATION-GROUP: prtAlertTrapGroup which contains
         printerV2Alert.
      In MODULE-COMPLIANCE prtMIBCompliance, new OBJECT-GROUPs and
         the NOTIFICATION_GROUP, all in GROUP (not MANDATORY-GROUP)
         clauses.  The nine new objects are optional, i.e., this
         document is backward compatible with RFC 1759."

  DESCRIPTION
      "The level of severity of this alert table entry.  The printer
      determines the severity level assigned to each entry in the
      table. A critical alert is binary by nature and definition. A
      warning is defined to be a non-critical alert. The original and
      most common warning is unary. The binary warning was added later
      and given a more distinguished name."

  DESCRIPTION
      "Counts configuration changes within the printer. A
      configuration change is defined to be an action that results in
      a change to any MIB object other than those that reflect status
      or level, or those that act as counters or gauges. In addition,
      any action that results in a row being added or deleted from
      any table in the Printer MIB is considered a configuration
      change. Such changes will often affect the capability of the
      printer to service certain types of print jobs. Management
      applications may cache infrequently changed configuration
      information about sub units within the printer. This object
      should be incremented whenever the agent wishes to notify
      management applications that any cached configuration
      information for this device is to be considered 'stale'. At
      this point, the management application should flush any
      configuration information cached about this device and fetch

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 68] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

      new configuration information.
      The following are examples of actions that would cause the
      prtGeneralConfigChanges object to be incremented:
  1. Adding an output bin
  2. Changing the media in a sensing input tray
  3. Changing the value of prtInputMediaType
      Note that the prtGeneralConfigChanges counter would not be
      incremented when an input tray is temporarily removed to load
      additional paper or when the level of an input device changes.

– The Print Job Delivery Channel Group – – 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; or – it could be a disk drive into which a floppy disk with – the print data is inserted. Each print job delivery channel is – 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

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 – through 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 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 – through the channel. – – Control of a print job delivery channel is largely limited to – enabling or disabling the entire channel itself. It is likely – 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.

  DESCRIPTION
      "Auxiliary information to allow a printing application to use
      the channel for data submission to the printer.  An application
      capable of using a specific PrtChannelType should be able to
      use the combined information from the prtChannelInformation and
      other channel and interface group objects to 'bootstrap' its
      use of the channel.  prtChannelInformation is not intended to
      provide a general channel description, nor to provide
      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 not affected by localization.
      2. The prtChannelInformation is a list of entries representing
      the attribute values.  Each entry consists of the following

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 118] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

      items, in order:
      a. A keyword, composed of alphabetic characters (A-Z, a-z)
      represented by their NVT ASCII [RFC854] codes, that
      identifies a channel attribute,
      b. The NVT ASCII code for an Equals Sign (=) (code 61) to
      delimit the keyword,
      c. A data value encoded using rules specific to the
      PrtChannelType to with the prtChannelInformation applies which
      must in no case allow an octet with value 10 (the NVT ASCII
      Line Feed code),
      d. the NVT ASCII code for a Line Feed character (code 10) to
      delimit the data value.
      No other octets shall be present.
      Keywords are case-sensitive.  Conventionally, keywords are
      capitalized (including each word of a multi-word keyword) 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 by default consists of text
      represented by NVT ASCII graphics character codes.  However,
      other representations may be specified:
      a. In cases where the prtChannelInformation value contains
      information not normally coded in textual form, whatever
      symbolic representation is conventionally used for the

      Keyword:      The keyword value, e.g.: '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.
      Description:  Description of the use of the entry, other
                    information required to complete the definition
                    (e.g.: ordering constraints, interactions between

      used must be 1.
      NOTE: The management application will read the alert table when
      a trap or event notification occurs or at a periodic rate and
      then parse the table to determine if any new entries were added
      by comparing the last known index value with the current

7. IANA Considerations

 The initial version the IANA Printer MIB defined in section 5 of this
 document is to be archived by IANA and subsequently maintained
 according to the Process specified in section 2.4.1 of this document.
 The most current and authoritative version of the IANA Printer MIB is
 available at:
    http://www.iana.org/assignments/ianaprinter-mib

8. Internationalization Considerations

 See section 2.2.1.1, 'International Considerations'.

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 147] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

9. Security Considerations

 There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module
 with a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create.  Such
 objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network
 environments.  The support for SET operations in a non-secure
 environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on
 network operations.  These are the tables and objects and their
 sensitivity/vulnerability:

 SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 did not include adequate security.
 Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec),
 even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is
 allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects
 in this MIB module.
 It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features as
 provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8),
 including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for
 authentication and privacy).
 Further, deployment of SNMP versions prior to SNMPv3 is NOT
 RECOMMENDED.  Instead, it is RECOMMENDED to deploy SNMPv3 and to
 enable cryptographic security.  It is then a customer/operator
 responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an
 instance of this MIB module is properly configured to give access to
 the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate
 rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them.
 Where the operational capability of the printing device are
 especially vulnerable or difficult to administer, certain objects
 within this MIB have been tagged as READ-ONLY, preventing
 modification.  Further, for all READ-WRITE objects within the MIB,
 the working group has included specific conformance guidelines

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 149] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

 stating that vendors are free to implement these objects as READ-
 ONLY.  This conformance allowance should cover cases where specific
 vendor vulnerabilities may differ from product to product.  (See
 conformance section with regards to MIN-ACCESS clauses).

Appendix A - Glossary of Terms

 Addressability - On the marker, the number of distinct marking units
 (pels) per unit of addressability unit that can be set; 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
 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.

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 153] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

 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.
 Host Resources MIB - See [RFC2790].
 IANA - Internet Assigned Numbers Authority.  See [RFC3232].
 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.

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 154] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

 Media Path - The mechanisms that transport instances of the media
 from an input, through the marker, possibly through media buffers and
 duplex 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.

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 155] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

 Visible state - The 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

 The PWG Standardized Media Names specification [PWGMEDIA], section 5
 Self  Describing Names, contains the currently recommended media size
 names.  This appendix lists the standardized media size names from
 ISO/IEC 10175 Document Printing Application (DPA), [ISO10175] as
 presented in RFC 1759.  Management applications are encouraged to use
 the names from the PWG standard.  However, many legacy systems exist
 that use the DPA names and they are presented here for the
 convenience of developers.
 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 prtInputMediaDimFeedDirChosen and
 prtInputMediaDimXFeedDirChosen.

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), [ISO10175].  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.  New names may also be created using this format
 and the names defined in the PWG Standardized Media Names
 specification [PWGMEDIA].
 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 (prtInputMediaDimFeedDirDeclared,
 prtInputMediaDimXFeedDirDeclared, 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.
 Common Print System Tasks
 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.

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 162] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

 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.

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 163] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

 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.

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 164] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

 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 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.

Appendix E - Overall Printer Status Table

 The Status Table establishes a convention for the top 25 printer
 errors.  The table defines a suggested relationship between various
 printer states and the variables Printer hrDeviceStatus,
 hrPrinterStatus, hrPrinterDetectedErrorState, prtAlertGroup,
 prtAlertCode and various sub-unit status variables (prtInputStatus,
 prtOutputStatus, prtMarkerStatus, prtMediaPathStatus and
 prtChannelStatus).  This table is the recommended implementation of
 these variables.  It is provided to guide implementors of this MIB
 and users of the MIB by providing a sample set of states and the
 variable values that are expected to be produced as result of that
 state.  This information supplements that provided in Section

Bergman, et al. Standards Track [Page 165] RFC 3805 Printer MIB v2 June 2004

 2.2.13.2 "Overall Printer Status".  This is not an exhaustive list
 rather it is a guideline.
 The definition of PrtSubUnitStatusTC specifies that SubUnitStatus is
 an integer that is the sum of 5 distinct values/states: Availability,
 Critical, Non-Critical, On-line and Transitioning.  Thus when a non-
 critical alert or alerts are present the values for Availability,
 On-Line and Transitioning will be summed with the Non- Critical
 Alerts (8) value.
 The table was generated in landscape format and is located at
 ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/pmp/contributions/Top25Errors.pdf.
