Bergman, et al. Informational [Page 2] RFC 3806 Printer Finishing MIB June 2004

1. Introduction

 This document describes an SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) to
 provide for the management of in-line post-processing in a fashion
 that is currently provided for printers, using the Printer MIB
 [RFC3805].  The Printer Finishing MIB includes the following
 features:
  1. Provides the status of the finishing device.
  2. Queries and controls the features and configuration of the

finishing device.

  1. Enables and disables the finishing processes.
  2. Allows unsolicited status from the finishing device.
 The Finisher MIB is defined as an extension of the Printer MIB
 [RFC3805] and it is expected that the information defined in this
 document will be incorporated into a future update of the Printer
 MIB.

1.1. Scope

 This document provides a robust set of finishing devices, features,
 and functions, based upon today's state of the art of in-line
 finishing.  Since finishing typically accompanies higher speed
 network printers and copiers, in contrast to simple desktop devices,
 no attempt is made to limit the scope to "bare minimum".  On the
 other hand, the Printer Finishing MIB does not duplicate the
 production mail preparation, custom insertion, franking, and reprints
 that are covered by the DMTF Large Mailing Operations standard [LMO].
 Information supplied by the Printer Finishing MIB may be utilized by
 printer and finisher management applications engaged in monitoring
 status and managing configuration, and also used by print and
 finishing submission applications which are engaged in:
  1. print-job-level finishing processes that are applied to a complete

print job,

  1. document-level finishing processes that are applied individually

to each document in the print job,

  1. document-level finishing processes that are applied to a selected

document in the print job.

 Note that not all combinations of finishing processes are permitted.
 Compatible combinations of finishing processes are implementation
 specific.  The MIB allows invalid combinations to be identified.

Bergman, et al. Informational [Page 3] RFC 3806 Printer Finishing MIB June 2004

 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].

1.2. Rational

 The Printer MIB [RFC3805] is now successfully deployed in a large
 segment of the network printer market.  SNMP and/or HTTP enabled
 printers and software management applications are growing in numbers.
 There is an increase in the availability of network printers and
 copiers that include in-line finishing processes.  Thus a well
 defined and ordered set of finishing objects is now necessary for
 printer management.
 The printer model defined in the Printer MIB includes finishing
 processes and the MIB was designed to later incorporate finisher
 objects or to be referenced by a future Finisher MIB.

1.3. 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].

1.4. Read-Write Objects

 Some objects in the Finisher MIB reflect the existence or amount of a
 given resource within the finisher.  Some examples of such resources
 are the size and number of sheets in an inserter tray or the
 existence of certain finisher options.  Some finishers have automatic
 sensors for these resources.  Most finishers lack sensors for every
 property of every resource.  The management application is allowed to
 write into objects that hold descriptive or existence values for
 finishers 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 an
 implementation might only permit a management application to change

Bergman, et al. Informational [Page 4] RFC 3806 Printer Finishing MIB June 2004

 the value if the finisher 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 Finisher MIB
 specification if:
 1. The object involves installation of a resource that some finishers
    cannot themselves detect.  Therefore, external means are needed to
    inform the device of the installation.  (Here external means
    include using the operator console, or remote management
    application) and
 2. The finisher will behave differently if the installation of the
    resource is reported than 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 finisher, i.e., not a "sticky-note".
    Another way of saying this is that the finisher believes that
    information given it and acts as if the information were true.
 3. The finisher 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 finisher may either assume that a property,
    such as the size of paper in the tray, has not changed or the
    finisher 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 finisher 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.

2. Terminology

 Where appropriate, the Printer Finishing MIB will conform to the
 terminology, syntax, and semantics from the DMTF Large Mailing
 Operations standard [LMO], the Internet Printing Protocol [RFC2911],
 and/or the ISO Document Printing Application [DPA].

2.1. General Terminology

 Finisher Input:  An input tray on the finisher and not otherwise
 associated with the printer.  An example of a finisher input is a
 tray that holds finishing "inserts".

 Figure 2 - Finishing Process Axis Parallel to X Axis
 Finisher Output:  The output of the finisher.  Because processing is
  in-line, the finisher outputs are a direct extension of the set of
  printer outputs.
 Media Orientation:  All Finishing Processes are defined relative to a
  portrait orientation of the medium, regardless of the orientation of
  the printed image or the direction of feed.  The 'X' and 'Y' axis,
  therefore, will always reference the medium as shown in figures 1
  and 2, with the 'X' axis always along the short edge of the medium.
  All edges and corners are also defined with the medium orientation
  as shown using the syntax top, bottom, left, and right.  Thus the
  bottom edge of the medium is at Y = 0, the left edge is at X = 0,
  and the bottom right corner is at (X2,0) as shown in the figure 1
  and at (X3,0) as shown in figure 2.

Bergman, et al. Informational [Page 7] RFC 3806 Printer Finishing MIB June 2004

 Finishing:  Defined by DPA as an operation on a document following
  the completion of the image process.  Finishing processes defined
  within this document are those applied to one or more instances of
  rectangular paper sheet media.
 Finishing Process:  Defined by DPA as an operation applied by a
  machine such as trimming a document, folding the sheets in a
  document, and applying a binding to a document.
 Finishing Specification:  Defined by DPA as the specific sequence of
  operations for a serial combination of finishing processes.  The
  exact sequential order of the processes, in many cases, is critical
  to the obtaining the desired result.  For example, a folding
  operation followed by trimming could provide a very different result
  than if the trimming was followed by the folding.
 Finishing Process Parameters:  This parameter set is used to create a
  detailed definition of the finishing process.  Generic Finishing
  Process Parameters are applicable to any Finishing Specification.
  1. Head Mechanism: Defined by DPA as the physical mechanism that is

used to perform a finishing process. The head position may be

    fixed or variable depending upon the capabilities of the device.
  1. Reference Edge: Defined by DPA as the edge of the document

relative to the axis to which the finishing process is applied.

    The edge of the medium defined to be the Reference Edge may be
    either the 'X' or the 'Y' axis, depending upon the finishing
    process to be performed.
    Note that the Reference Edge may change from one finishing process
    to another for one of two reasons.  First, a subsequent process
    may require a different Reference Edge.  Second, the actual
    dimensions of the document may change, for example as a result of
    a folding or a trimming operation.
  1. Jog Edge: Defined by DPA as one of the two edges that is

perpendicular to the Reference Edge. Specifying the Jog Edge

    parameter indicates the edges of all sheets which correspond to
    the Jog Edge are aligned.
  1. Finishing Process Axis: Defined by DPA as the axis which some

finishing processes are applied to or referenced from by the Head

    Mechanism.  Examples are the axis for a fold process or the axis
    for a punch process.
  1. Head Locations: Defined by DPA as the position of the Heads on

the Finishing Process Axis.

Bergman, et al. Informational [Page 8] RFC 3806 Printer Finishing MIB June 2004

  1. Finishing Process Offset: The offset from the Reference Edge to

the Finishing Process Axis at which the finishing process takes

    place or is applied.

2.2. Process Specific Terminology

 FOLDING:
 Z Fold:  A fold in which two folds are placed in the sheet in
   opposite directions.  The first fold is located at 25% of the sheet
   length, and the second is located at 50% of the sheet length (i.e.,
   the center of the sheet).  Z Folding is often used on 11x17 inch or
   A3 size sheets, when they are included in sets containing 8.5x11
   inch or A4 size sheets.
 Half Fold:  To fold a sheet in half so that one of the resulting
   dimensions are exactly half the original sheet.  Often used for
   signatures or booklets.
 Letter Fold:  Folding a sheet roughly in thirds.  Usually performed
   on 8.5x11 inch or A4 size sheets for insertion into an envelope.
 Signature:  The process by which images are placed on a large sheet
   of paper in correct panel areas and in the proper orientation such
   that when the sheet is folded it will produce a booklet with each
   page in the proper order and orientation.
 BINDING:
 Adhesive Binding:  A method of attaching sheets together to form a
   book or booklet using glue or adhesive.  Some adhesive binding
   methods apply the glue to sheets individually, before merging them
   together for form a book, but most methods involve the application
   of adhesive to an entire book of sheets.
 Comb Binding:  A method of binding in which a series of small
   rectangular holes is placed along the bind edge of the sheets.  The
   sheets are then held together using a tube shaped plastic binding
   strip with comb like fingers that fit through the holes in the
   sheets.
 Spiral Binding:  Sometimes referred to as wire binding, this binding
   method is a mechanical bind in which the individual leaves are held
   together by a wire or plastic spiral that is fed through small
   holes in the paper binding edge.

Bergman, et al. Informational [Page 9] RFC 3806 Printer Finishing MIB June 2004

 Padding:  Applying a non-penetrating adhesive to the edge of a stack
   of sheets such that the sheets can be easily peeled off one at a
   time.  Frequently used for forms.
 Velo Binding:  A bind formed by punching holes into the edge of the
   sheets, placing a two piece plastic strip (one side formed with
   plastic pins that pass through the holes) along the edge and then
   staking the two pieces together.
 Perfect Binding:  A method of binding in which all pages are cut and
   roughed up at the back or binding edge and held together by an
   adhesive.
 Tape Binding:  The act of placing tape over the bind edge of a set.
   Sometimes contains adhesive to provide a functional bind to the
   set, and sometimes done for decorative purposes on a set that has
   been edge stapled.
 SLITTING/CUTTING/TRIMMING:
 Trim:  To cut the edges of a sheet or set of sheets.
 Face Trim:  To cut the edges of a set of sheets on a booklet of
   sheets that have been folded to eliminate the "creep" or edge
   shingling that results from the folding process.
 Gutter Trim:  To cut a larger sheet into smaller sheets eliminating
   the gutter between adjacent images.  This operation requires a
   minimum of two cuts for each gutter.
 Tab Cutting:  The act of cutting the edge of a sheet to form an index
   tab, thereby allowing quick identification and access.  The
   external tabs are sequentially placed along the book edge for
   visibility and ease of grasping.
 Perforating:  The act of cutting a series of very small, closely
   spaced holes or slots into a sheet to allow for ease of separation
   of a portion of the sheet.  Sometimes also used to ease
   bending/hinging of heavy weight papers.
 Scoring:  A means of applying small linear grooves or impressions
   along a sheet to allow easy folding.  Often used on heavy weight
   sheets and book covers.
 Slitting:  The action of cutting apart a large sheet to form smaller
   sheets.  Usually done using a sharp circular roll system.

Bergman, et al. Informational [Page 10] RFC 3806 Printer Finishing MIB June 2004

 STITCHING/STAPLING:
 Staple:  The process of binding a set of sheets together using a 'U'
   shaped piece of metal wire that is punched through the set.  The
   ends of the metal staple are then bent over, or 'clinched' to hold
   the staple in place.  Technically the term 'stapler' refers to
   devices that use pre-cut metal staples, but the term is also
   commonly used to refer to devices that use wire spools and then
   cut/form the staple.  (see the definition of Stitch)
 Stitch:  The process of binding a set of sheets together using a 'U'
   shaped piece of metal wire that is punched through the set.  The
   wire used to form the staple is cut and formed into a 'U' shape in
   the stitcher head, and the staple 'leg' length is often varied
   depending on the number of sheets to be bound together.  The ends
   of the metal staple are bent over, or 'clinched' to hold the staple
   in place.
   Stitching can also refer to the process of sewing the edges of the
   signatures of a book together.
 Saddle Stitch:  The process of stapling a set along its center line
   as part of a booklet making process.  Usually 2 or 3 staples are
   used.
 Dual Stapling:  The process of placing 2 staples along the bind edge
   of a set.  The staples are typically located at 25% and 75% of the
   length of the bind edge.  Although dual stapling is often performed
   on the long edge of a set, legal documents are frequently dual
   stapled along the top, or short edge of the set.
 Triple Stapling:  Same as above, but using 3 staples along the bind
   edge, and usually applies to the long edge only.
 WRAPPING:
 Shrink Wrap:  A wrap of thin plastic which when heated will shrink
   and wrap tightly around the stack thus preparing it for shipment.
 BANDING:
 Band Wrap:  Bundling a finished stack to prepare for shipment.  Also
   known as Strap Wrap.
 ROTATING:
 Sheet Rotator:  A device that rotates each sheet as received from the
   Media Path to the proper orientation for the finisher processing.

3. Finisher Subunits Integrated Into The Printer Model

 The Printer Finisher Device subunits receive media from one or more
 Printer Media Path subunits and deliver the media to one or more
 Printer Output subunits after the completion of the finishing
 processes.  The Printer Model, as described in the Printer MIB
 [RFC3805], is modified adding the finisher subunit(s) and finisher
 supplies between the media path and output subunits as follows:
                 +----------+
               +----------+ |
               |  Marker  | |
               | Supplies |-+

4. Finishing Specifications

 The Finisher MIB is able to provide most of the information that is
 required to generate a Finishing Specification.  This includes;
 1. Finishing operations that can be performed on media that are
    associated with a specific printer media path and output subunit.
 2. Combinations of operations that cannot be performed.
 3. The location of the operation on the medium, if applicable.
 4. The physical characteristics of the result of the operation.  For
    example, the size and shape of a punched hole, or if a fold
    operation creates a letter fold or a "Z" fold.

Bergman, et al. Informational [Page 12] RFC 3806 Printer Finishing MIB June 2004

 The Finisher MIB permits an agent to describe the order that
 operations can be performed.

4.1. Multiple finDeviceTable Entries

 Each finishing operation supported by the printer is represented by
 one or more entries in the finDeviceTable.  Each entry in this table
 defines a "logical" finishing device, since the function of several
 table entries may be performed by a single finisher mechanism.
 Multiple entries may also exist in the table as a result of the
 existence of multiple finisher mechanisms that perform the same type
 of operation.
 One example of possible multiple entries for a single finisher
 device, is a hole punch operation that creates more than one hole.
 This could be performed using a single die punch that moves to each
 required position or a multi-die punch that simultaneously creates
 all holes.  In either case, each defined hole position may be defined
 as a separate table entry.
 In both cases, if the punch positions can be individually selected, a
 table entry for each position would be necessary.
 For the multi-die punch, each head mechanism may have a different
 hole pattern or size.  If these differences are to be properly
 disclosed, a table entry for each head mechanism would be required.

4.2. Implicit Parameters

 Finishing operations that are specified by an enum define a standard
 operation and in many cases an implicit set of physical
 characteristics is to be included when specifying the enum.  If
 explicit values for these characteristics are not provided in the
 attributes table, the values defined in this section are to be
 implied.

5. The Attribute Mechanism

 Attributes provide a function similar to information objects, except
 that attributes are identified by an enum, instead of an OID.  Thus
 new attributes may be registered without requiring a change to the
 MIB.  In addition, an implementation that does not have the
 functionality represented by the attribute can omit the attribute
 entirely, rather than having to return a distinguished value.  The
 agent is free to create an attribute in the Attribute Table as soon
 as the agent is aware of the value of the attribute.
 The agent materializes finishing subunit attributes in a four-indexed
 finDeviceAttributeTable:
 1. hrDeviceIndex - which device in the host
 2. finDeviceIndex - which finisher subunit in the printer device
 3. finDeviceAttributeTypeIndex - which attribute
 4. finDeviceAttributeInstanceIndex - which attribute instance for
    those attributes that can have multiple values per finishing
    subunit.

Bergman, et al. Informational [Page 15] RFC 3806 Printer Finishing MIB June 2004

5.1. Conformance of Attribute Implementation

 An agent SHALL implement any attribute if (1) the device supports the
 functionality represented by the attribute and (2) the information is
 available to the agent.  The agent MAY create the attribute row in
 the finDeviceAttributeTable when the information is available or MAY
 create the row earlier with the designated 'unknown' value
 appropriate for that attribute.  See next section.
 If the device does not implement or does not provide access to the
 information about an attribute, the agent SHOULD NOT create the
 corresponding row in the finDeviceAttributeTable.

5.2. Useful, 'Unknown', and 'Other' Values for Objects and Attributes

 Some attributes have a 'useful' Integer32 value, some have a 'useful'
 OCTET STRING value, some MAY have either or both depending on
 implementation, and some MUST have both.  See the
 finDeviceAttributeTypeTC textual convention for the specification of
 each attribute.
 NOTE: In some instances, objects with a MAX-ACCESS of read-write will
 result in an SNMPv1 error or SNMPv2 exception during a write
 operation.  The administrative security policy may restrict a class
 of users to read-only or, more importantly, the implementation may
 implement a subset of read-write objects as read-only.  This should
 be expected to be the case for a device that can properly sense the
 value of an object and does not want the value to be externally
 modified.
 In general, values for objects and attributes have been chosen so
 that a management application will be able to determine whether a
 'useful', 'unknown', or 'other' value is available.  When a useful
 value is not available for an object that agent SHALL return a zero-
 length string for octet strings, the value 'unknown(2)' for enums, a
 '0' value for an object that represents an index in another table,
 and a value '-2' for counting integers.
 Since each attribute is represented by a row consisting of both the
 finDeviceAttributeValueAsInteger and finDeviceAttributeValueAsOctets
 MANDATORY objects, SNMP requires that the agent SHALL always create
 an attribute row with both objects specified.  However, for most
 attributes the agent SHALL return a "useful" value for one of the
 objects and SHALL return the 'other' value for the other object.  For
 integer only attributes, the agent SHALL always return a zero-length
 string value for the finDeviceAttributeValueAsOctets object.  For
 octet string only attributes, the agent SHALL always return a '-1'
 value for the finDeviceAttributeValueAsInteger object.

Bergman, et al. Informational [Page 16] RFC 3806 Printer Finishing MIB June 2004

5.3. Data Sub-types and Attribute Naming Conventions

 Many attributes are sub-typed to give a more specific data type than
 Integer32 or OCTET STRING.  The data sub-type of each attribute is
 indicated on the first line(s) of the description.  Some attributes
 have several different data sub-type representations.  When an
 attribute has both an Integer32 data sub-type and an OCTET STRING
 data sub-type, the attribute can be represented in a single row in
 the finDeviceAttributeTable.  In this case, the data sub-type name is
 not included as the last part of the name of the attribute.  When the
 data sub-types cannot be represented by a single row in the
 finDeviceAttributeTable, each such representation is considered a
 separate attribute and is assigned a separate name and enum value.
 For these attributes, the name of the data sub-type is the last part
 of the name of the attribute.

5.4. Single-Value (Row) Versus Multi-Value (MULTI-ROW) Attributes

 Most attributes shall have only one row per finishing subunit.
 However, a few attributes can have multiple values per finishing
 subunit, where each value is a separate row in the
 finDeviceAttributeTable.  Unless indicated with 'MULTI-ROW:' in the
 finDeviceAttributeTypeTC description, an agent SHALL ensure that each
 attribute occurs only once in the finDeviceAttributeTable for a
 finishing subunit.  Most of the 'MULTI-ROW' attributes do not allow
 duplicate values, i.e., the agent SHALL ensure that each value occurs
 only once for a finishing subunit.  Only if the specification of the
 'MULTI-ROW' attribute also says "There is no restriction on the same
 xxx occurring in multiple rows" can the agent allow duplicate values
 to occur for a single finishing subunit.

5.5. Linked MUTI-ROW Values

 Some MULTI-ROW attributes are intended to go together.  Thus a set of
 value instances represent a single instance.  For example, the
 puncher attributes indicate the location, maximum size, minimum size
 and shape of the various holes that the puncher can produce.  So the
 first set of values could represent one kind of hole, and the second
 set another kind of hole, etc.

5.6. Index Value Attributes

 A number of attributes are indexes in other tables.  Such attribute
 names end with the word 'Index'.  If the agent has not (yet) assigned
 an index value for a particular index attribute for a finishing
 subunit, the agent shall either: (1) return the value 0 or (2) not
 add this attribute to the finDeviceAttributeTable until the index

Bergman, et al. Informational [Page 17] RFC 3806 Printer Finishing MIB June 2004

 value is assigned.  In the interests of brevity, the semantics for 0
 is specified once here and is not repeated for each index attribute
 specification and a DEFVAL of 0 is indicated.

5.7. Attribute Specifications

 This section specifies the set of attributes that are enumerated in
 finAttributeTypeTC.  The data type tag definitions 'INTEGER:'  or
 'OCTETS', indicate if the attribute can be represented using the
 object finDeviceAttributeAsInteger or the object
 finDeviceAttributeAsOctets, respectively.  In some cases, a choice
 between the two data types is possible and for a few attributes both
 objects may be required at the same time to properly present the
 value.
 NOTE - The enum assignments are grouped logically with values
 assigned in groups of 10, so that additional values may be registered
 in the future and assigned a value that is part of their logical
 grouping.
 Values in the range 2**30 to 2**31-1 are reserved for private or
 experimental usage.  This range corresponds to the same range
 reserved in IPP.  Implementers are warned that use of such values may
 conflict with other implementations.  Implementers are encouraged to
 request registration of enum values following the procedures in
 Section 6.1.
 The attribute types defined at the time of completion of this
 specification are:

         with the process defined by the finDeviceIndex for this
         finDeviceAttributeTable instance.  If this attribute is
         not present, this process can be used with any input tray
         in the printer.  For example, this attribute can indicate
         the current stapling capabilities for a stapler device
         for the input trays that depend upon the size and feed
         orientation.  So if there were two letter trays, one with
         A size and the other with B size, a two position stapler

         instructions submitted with the job.  A value of 0
         indicates that this finishing process is the first in a
         sequence.  Finishing processes which are not part of a
         fixed sequence SHALL NOT have this attribute.

Bergman, et al. Informational [Page 20] RFC 3806 Printer Finishing MIB June 2004

         performed or not performed according to the finishing
         instructions submitted with the job.  A value of 0
         indicates that this finishing process is the last in a
         sequence.  Finishing processes which are not part of a

6. 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 Finisher MIB or the companion IANA
 Finisher MIB are extensible by RFC publication or Designated Expert
 Review (see 'IANA Considerations' section of this Finisher MIB and
 the DESCRIPTION clause in MODULE-IDENTITY of IANA Finisher MIB).  All
 of these textual conventions are:
 a) used more than once in the Finisher MIB itself; or
 b) imported and used in any other, including vendor private, MIB
    modules.
 The Finisher 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.

6.1. Registering Additional Enumerated Values

 The Finisher MIB and the companion IANA Finisher MIB each defines one
 category of textual convention, according to the process employed to
 control the addition of new enumerations:

Bergman, et al. Informational [Page 23] RFC 3806 Printer Finishing MIB June 2004

    Type 1 - All of the legal values are defined in the Finisher MIB.
    Additional enumerated values require the publication of a new
    Finisher MIB.
    Type 2 - All of the legal values are registered in the IANA
    Finisher 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.

12. 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:
 finDeviceTable:
    finDevicePresentOnOff -Possible severe inconvenience
    finDeviceMaxCapacity -Possible minor inconvenience
    finDeviceCurrentCapacity -Possible minor inconvenience
 finSupplyTable:
    finSupplyMaxCapacity -Possible minor inconvenience

Bergman, et al. Informational [Page 49] RFC 3806 Printer Finishing MIB June 2004

    finSupplyCurrentLevel -Possible minor inconvenience
 finSupplyMediaInputTable
    finSupplyMediaInputMediaDimFeedDir -Possible severe inconvenience
    finSupplyMediaInputMediaDimXFeedDir -Possible severe inconvenience
    finSupplyMediaInputMediaName -Possible Minor inconvenience
    finSupplyMediaInputName -Possible Minor inconvenience
    finSupplyMediaInputSecurity -Possible Minor inconvenience
    finSupplyMediaInputMediaWeight -Possible Minor inconvenience
    finSupplyMediaInputMediaThickness -Possible Minor inconvenience
    finSupplyMediaInputMediaType -Possible Minor inconvenience
 finDeviceAttributeTable
    finDeviceAttributeValueAsInteger -Possible Minor inconvenience
    finDeviceAttributeValueAsOctets -Possible Minor inconvenience
 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 stating
 that vendors are free to implement certain 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).
