PWG 5100.x - Internet Printing Protocol
PWG Candidate Standard 5100.1-2001 - IPP "finishings" attribute values extension
This document specifies the additional enum values 'fold', 'trim', 'bale', 'booklet-maker', 'jog-offset', 'bind-left', 'bind-top', 'bind-right', and 'bind-bottom' for the IPP "finishings" Job Template attribute for use with the Internet Printing Protocol/1.0 (IPP) [RFC2566, RFC2565] and Internet Printing Protocol/1.1 (IPP) [RFC2911, RFC2910]. This attribute permits the client to specify additional finishing options, including values that include a specification of a coordinate system for the placement of finishings operation with respect to the corners and edges of portrait and landscape documents.
PWG Candidate Standard 5100.2-2001 - IPP "output-bin" attribute extension
This document defines an extension to the Internet Printing Protocol/1.0 (IPP/1.0) [RFC2566, RFC2565] & IPP/1.1 [RFC2911, RFC2910] for the OPTIONAL "output-bin" (type2 keyword | name(MAX)) Job Template attribute. This attribute allows the client to specify in which output bin a job is to be placed and to query the Printer's default and supported output bins.
PWG Candidate Standard 5100.3-2001 - Production Printing Attributes - Set 1
This document specifies an extension to the Internet Printing Protocol/1.0 (IPP) [RFC2565, RFC2566] and IPP/1.1 [RFC2910, RFC2911]. This extension consists primarily of Job Template attributes defined for submitting print jobs primarily (but not limited to) to production printers. These attributes permit a user to control and/or override instructions in the document content to perform the following functions: print on document covers, control the positioning of stapling, force pages to the front side of the media, identify an imposition template, insert sheets into the document, provide an accounting id, provide an accounting user id, request accounting sheets, provide job sheet messages, request error sheets, provide a message to the operator, control the media used for job sheets, request media by characteristic (size, weight, etc.), request to check the media characteristics in an input tray, specify the presentation direction of page images with number-up, and shift the images of finished pages.
This extension also defines the "current-page-order" Job Description attribute, the "user-defined-values-supported" and "max-stitching-locations-supported" Printer Description attributes, and the 'resources-are-not-supported' value for the "job-state-reasons" Job Description attribute. Some additional "media" keyword values are defined for use with the "media" and "media-col" Job Template attributes.
PWG Candidate Standard 5100.5-2003 - IPP Document Object
This IPP specification extends the IPP Protocol, Model and Semantics [rfc2910], [rfc2911] object model by defining a Document object. The [rfc2911] Job object is extended to contain one or more Document objects that are passive objects operated on by the Job. Multi-Document Jobs exist in IPP [rfc2911] but are not objects in their own right. This specification elevates the Document to an IPP object thus giving access to a document's metadata within a Job. A Document object allows template attributes to be applied at both the Job and Document level. This enables document overrides of Job Template attributes.
PWG Candidate Standard 5100.6-2003 - IPP Page Overrides
(Obsoletes 5100.4-2001 - IPP Overrides Attributes for Document and Pages)
This IPP specification extends the IPP Model and Semantics [rfc2911] object model by relaxing the restriction that each attribute value is the same for all pages within a Document. For example, with this extension, page 1 of a job could have a different media than the other pages in the job.
This extension supports page Overrides by adding a new Job Template attribute: "overrides". Each 'collection' value contains attributes that identify the attributes to Override and their associated values as well as the range of pages for the Override. The range of pages is specified by the "document-copies" attribute and the "pages" attribute to allow Overrides of pages in specific copies of the document.
PWG Candidate Standard 5100.7-2003 - IPP Job Extensions
This IPP specification extends the Job semantics of the IPP Model and Semantics [rfc2911] object model. This specification defines some new Operation attributes for use in Job Creation and Document Creation operations. The Printer copies these Operation attributes to the corresponding Job Description attributes, which the clients may query. The Document Creation Operation attributes describe the Document Content and permit the Printer to reject requests that it cannot process correctly. Some corresponding "xxx-default" and "xxx-supported" Printer attributes are defined. This specification defines some Job Template attributes that apply to a multi-document Job as a whole and the "output-device" Job Template attribute that can apply to Documents and to Sheets as well as Jobs. This specification also defines some additional values for the "job-state-reasons" Job Description attribute. Each of the attributes defined in this specification are independent of each other and are OPTIONAL for a Printer to support.
PWG Candidate Standard 5100.8-2003 - IPP "-actuals" Attributes
This document defines an extension to the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) (RFC2911, RFC2910) for the OPTIONAL "-actual" set of Job Description attributes that correspond to Job Template attributes defined in IPP. These "-actual" attributes allow the client to determine the true results of a print job regardless of what was specified in the Create-Job or Print-Job operation.
PWG Candidate Standard 5100.9-2009 - IPP Printer State Extensions v1.0
This document defines the new IPP Printer attributes "printer-alert" and "printer-alert-description" plus extensions to the IPP Printer attribute "printer-state-reasons" (defined in RFC 2911) and to the IANA Printer MIB textual convention "PrtAlertCodeTC" (originally published in RFC 3805) as follows:
(a) A standard encoding of all of the machine-readable columnar objects in the 'prtAlertTable' defined in IETF Printer MIB v2 (RFC 3805) into substrings of values of the new IPP Printer "printer-alert" attribute defined in this document.
(b) A standard encoding of the localized 'prtAlertDescription' columnar object in the 'prtAlertTable' defined in IETF Printer MIB v2 (RFC 3805) into values of the new IPP Printer "printer-alert-description" attribute defined in this document.
(c) A standard mapping between the device errors and warnings in the 'PrtAlertCodeTC' textual convention defined in IANA Printer MIB and existing or new values (as needed) of the IPP Printer "printer-state-reasons" attribute defined in IPP/1.1.
(d) A standard mapping between the finishing subunit types in the 'FinDeviceTypeTC' textual convention defined in IANA Finisher MIB (originally published in RFC 3806) and new specific values of the 'PrtAlertCodeTC' textual convention defined in IANA Printer MIB and new values of the IPP Printer "printer-state-reasons" attribute defined in IPP/1.1, for high fidelity support of finishing alerts.
PWG Candidate Standard 5100.11-2010 - IPP Job and Printer Extensions - Set 2 (JPS2)
This Job and Printer Extensions - Set 2 Specification (JPS2) defines an extension to the Internet Printing Protocol/1.0 (IPP) ([RFC2565], [RFC2566]), IPP/1.1 ([RFC2910], [RFC2911]), and [RFC3380]. This JPS2 consists of a REQUIRED Job Template attribute to print a proof print(s) of the job prior to printing the full run of the job and OPTIONAL Job Template attributes for submitting print jobs that permit a user to save jobs for later reprinting (i.e., retain the jobs indefinitely), provide a recipient name and a job phone number, provide the feed orientation, provide the font name and font size, hold a job until a specific date and time, delay the output of a job (but allow processing) until a specified time period, delay the output of a job (but allow processing) until a specific date and time, and specify an interpreter initialization file.
This JPS2 also defines four new REQUIRED operations - Cancel-Jobs, Cancel-My-Jobs, Close-Job, and Resubmit-Job - and a new REQUIRED "job-ids" operation attribute to be used with the existing Get-Jobs and Purge-Jobs operations. Cancel-Jobs allows an operator/administrator to cancel a list of Not Completed jobs or all Not Completed jobs on the Printer. Cancel-My-Jobs allows a user to cancel a list of their Not Completed jobs or all their Not Completed jobs. Close-Job allows a client to close a multi-document job without supplying any additional documents (to support streaming clients and servers). Resubmit-Job allows a user to re-process a modified copy of a Retained Job. Get-Jobs with the "job-ids" attribute allows a user to get a list of jobs. Purge-Jobs with the "job-ids" attribute allows an operator/administrator to purge a list of jobs. There are also Printer Description attributes to list the Job Creation attributes supported indicate whether jobs are spooled and list the set of media collections supported. In addition, conformance to JPS2 also REQUIRES support of the Reprocess-Job operation defined in [RFC3998].
Some of the Job Template attributes defined in this specification are also defined to be supplied as Operation attributes in the Hold-Job ([RFC2911]) and Set-Job-Attributes ([RFC3380]) operations.
In addition, OPTIONAL semantics for Attribute Precedence, a Queue Override Feature, and a feature to guarantee protocol precedence over the PDL attribute are defined.
PWG Candidate Standard 5100.12-2011 - IPP Version 2.0 Second Edition (IPP/2.0 SE)
(Obsoletes 5100.10-2009 - IPP/2.0 First Edition)
Since the release of IPP/1.1 (RFC 2910 and RFC 2911), numerous extensions to the IPP protocol have been published as IETF RFCs or PWG Candidate Standards. Many IPP developers are not aware of the existence of many of these extensions, and there is no published document that references all of these extension specifications. As a consequence, only some of the extensions have been implemented.
This specification combines all of the previous IPP IETF or PWG IPP extensions into a new base IPP/2.0 conformance level and two new extended IPP/2.1 and IPP/2.2 conformance levels. No new IPP functionality is specified in this document, beyond that defined in the previous IPP extensions.
Implementation of this specification will allow printing applications to easily determine the capabilities of an IPP Printer without the need for extensive queries to the IPP Printer.
PWG 5101.x - Registrations
PWG Candidate Standard 5101.1-2002 - Standard for Media Standardized Names
This document specifies standard names to be used to indicate media types, media colors, and media sizes in other standards. These lists of names are a superset of the names that are currently presented in the Printer MIB [PRT-MIB] and the IPP Model and Semantics [IPP-MOD] documents. It is intended to supplement the currently defined lists as well as to provide a normative reference for all subsequent standards.
PWG Candidate Standard 5101.2-2004 - PWG RepertoireSupported Element
In traditional printing environments, clients rely on font downloads when they are not sure a given character is embedded in the printer. As printing moves to small clients, downloading may not be an option and clients have a need to know what characters are available in a given device.
There are many published named character repertoires, and a small client will not know about them all.
To improve operability, this document defines semantics and naming conventions to allow a printer to advertise what repertoires it supports.
The primary target of this document is printing using document formats based on XML or HTML (for example, XHTML-Print). It will be less applicable to traditional PDLs (PCL, PostScript, etc.) because they tend to have very format-specific mechanisms for managing character repertoires.
PWG Candidate Standard 5101.4-2004 - Universal Printer Description Format
This document describes the concept of a Universal Printer Description Format and the set of schemas it is based on. The schemas describe input for a driver/client to assemble general information about the device and its features, to be used in user interfaces or for printing.
PWG 5102.x - File Formats
PWG Candidate Standard 5102.1-2003 - XHTMLTM-Print
HTML 4 is a powerful language for authoring Web content, but its design does not take into consideration issues pertinent to printers, including the implementation cost (in power, memory, etc.) of the full feature set. Printers have relatively limited resources that cannot generally afford to implement the full feature set of HTML 4.
Because there are many ways to subset HTML, there are many almost identical subsets defined by organizations and companies. Without a common base set of features, developing print applications for a wide range of printers is difficult.
XHTML-Print's targeted usage is for printing in environments where it is not feasible or desirable to install a printer-specific driver and where some variability in the formatting of the output is acceptable.
The document type definition for XHTML-Print is implemented based on the XHTML modules defined in the W3C's Modularization of XHTML.
PWG Candidate Standard 5102.2-2003 - CSS Print Profile
This specification defines a subset of the Cascading Style Sheets Level 2 specification with additions from the proposed features of Paged Media Properties for Cascading Style Sheets Level 3, to provide a strong basis for rich printing results without a detailed understanding of each individual printer's characteristics.
It also defines an extension set that provides stronger layout control for the printing of mixed text and images, tables and image collections.
PWG Candidate Standard 5102.3-2004 - Portable Document Format: Image-Streamable (PDF/is)
This document specifies an application of PDF (Portable Document Format) that has two important properties: First, it is an "image"-based format, and proper rendering of the document is represented by (binary or color) images. Second, the format is suitable for incremental generation and thus it is a "streaming" format. The subset is called "PDF/is", for "PDF Image-Streamable".
PWG 5104.x - Print System Interface
PWG Candidate Standard 5104.2-2005 - Print Service Interface V1.0
The Print Service Interface is the set of interfaces and methods that enable a Client, such as a Printer, Mobile Device, Web Portal, or Service, to create a Print Job on a Print Service. The Print Service may be used to resolve and access the information to be printed.
PWG 5105.x - Semantic Model
PWG Candidate Standard 5105.1-2004 - PWG Semantic Model
This document is a high level overview of the Semantic Model defined by the PWG. This document briefly describes the semantic elements defined in various PWG documents and PWG documents submitted to the IETF. The Semantic Model also incorporates additions made by other groups addressing print systems. With every semantic element included a reference is provided to the document and section that details the semantic definition.
The Semantic Model contains a high level description of the Actions that operate on the objects and attributes in the model. This document does not describe the mapping of the semantics onto a specific protocol or network environment.
PWG 5106.x - Workgroup for Imaging Management Services (WIMS)
PWG Candidate Standard 5106.1-2007 - PWG Standardized Imaging System Counters
This document defines the usage counters for an Imaging System, such as a network spooler, a printer or a multifunction device, and the services such a system offers. This document does not describe mapping of these semantics to XML Schema, MIB or any protocol. Such mappings may be provided in separate documents.
PWG Candidate Standard 5106.2-2006 - Web-based Imaging Management Service
This specification defines the abstract Web-based Imaging Management Service (WIMS) protocol. This specification defines five operations initiated by a WIMS Agent (embedded in services or devices), largely in support of Schedule-oriented remote management: RegisterForManagement (Agent allows management by an identified WIMS Manager); and UnregisterForManagement (cancel Agent association with a given WIMS Manager); GetSchedule (request a Schedule of planned actions); SendReports (send normal operational message); and SendAlerts (send warning or error exception message). This specification also defines four operations initiated by a WIMS Manager to support more conventional local management: BeginManagement (Manager requests ability to manage an identified Agent); EndManagement (Manager cancels association with Agent); SetSchedule (send a Schedule of planned actions with their timetables); ExecuteAction (execute the single identified action). This specification also defines sets of monitoring, management and administration actions that can be included within a Schedule. Transport bindings for the WIMS protocol are identified in the appendix.
PWG Candidate Standard 5106.3-2008 - PWG Imaging System State and Counter MIB 2.0
This document defines the PWG Imaging System State and Counter (ISC) MIB v2.0 that supports monitoring of system-, service-, and subunit-level state and counters on imaging devices (dedicated systems) and imaging servers (multipurpose systems). The ISC MIB can be used for fleet management, enterprise billing, field service, and other applications. The ISC MIB is entirely freestanding, but it also facilitates use of the IETF Host Resources MIB [RFC1514] [RFC2790] and IETF Printer MIB [RFC1759] [RFC3805] for imaging device and imaging server monitoring. The ISC MIB was developed by the PWG's Web-based Imaging Management Service (WIMS) project and is based on the PWG Imaging System Counters specification [PWG5106.1].
PWG Candidate Standard 5106.4-2011 - PWG Power Management Model for Imaging Systems 1.0
This document defines an abstract PWG Power Management Model for Imaging Systems (Printers, Copiers, Multifunction Devices, etc.) that extends the abstract System and Subunit objects in the PWG Semantic Model.
PWG Candidate Standard 5106.5-2011 - PWG Imaging System Power MIB v1.0
This document defines the PWG Imaging System Power MIB (for Printers, Copiers, Multifunction Devices, etc.) that extends IETF MIB-II [RFC1213], IETF Host Resources MIB v2 [RFC2790], IETF Printer MIB v2 [RFC3805], IETF Finisher MIB [RFC3806], and PWG Imaging System State and Counter MIB v2 [PWG5106.3].
PWG 5107.x - MIB Working Group
PWG Candidate Standard 5107.1-2005 - PWG Printer Port Monitor MIB1.0
This document defines the PWG Printer Port Monitor (PPM) MIB v1.0 that supports printer status monitoring, automatic installation of device drivers, and other printing applications. The PPM MIB is entirely free-standing, but it also facilitates use of the IETF Host Resources MIB (RFC1514 / RFC2790) and IETF Printer MIB (RFC1759 / RFC3805) for printer status monitoring.
PWG Candidate Standard 5107.2-2010 - PWG Command Set Format for IEEE 1284 Device ID v1.0
This document defines a standard format for the COMMAND SET capability in an IEEE 1284 Device ID [IEEE1284], for use: (a) by Imaging Systems (Printers, Copiers, Multifunction Devices, etc.) to encode their supported document formats; and (b) by Imaging Clients (workstations, mobile devices, spoolers, etc.) to decode these Imaging System supported document formats, to enable automatic device driver installation and subsequent Imaging Job submission.
This document also defines the IPP Printer Description attribute "printer-device-id" which contains an IEEE 1284 Device ID and corresponds one-to-one with the ppmPrinterIEEE1284DeviceId object defined in the PWG Printer Port Monitor MIB [PWG5107.1].
PWG 5108.x - PWG Semantic Model/Multifunction Device
PWG Candidate Standard 5108.01-2011 - PWG MFD Model and Common Semantics v1.0
This specification presents the concepts, semantics and structure of a generalized model of the hardcopy imaging services provided by a Multifunction Device (MFD), a hardcopy device also known as a Multifunction Peripheral (MFP), a Multifunction Printer (MFP) or an All-in-One. This specification is both an overall introduction to the PWG MFD Model and a description of concepts and Elements common to several MFD Services. It is intended to serve as an orientation to the separate PWG specifications defining the MFD Model. The root Element of an MFD, (i.e., System) and the individual MDF Services (e.g., Copy, Print) are more appropriately covered in their own specifications. This MFD Model and Common Semantics specification is technically aligned with a named version of the PWG MFD XML Schema
For purposes of this modeling, the services that may be performed by an MFD are: Print, Scan, Copy, FaxIn, FaxOut, EmailIn, EmailOut, Transform and Resource
This Document defines:
- The overall MFD model including the terminology and concepts used in the MFD Service models.
- The models of an MFD Service, Job and Document
- The “Imaging Service” complex Elements, representing structures appearing in several Services but because of XML Schema restrictions, not instantiated in any Service; the appropriate Services have parallel structures that include some Service-specific Elements.
- The Elements common to several Services, eliminating the need to repeat these definitions in each Service specification.
PWG Candidate Standard 5108.02-2009 - PWG Network Scan Service Semantic Model and Service Interface v1.0
Network print devices have evolved to support additional multifunction services, in particular Scan Service. When network Scanners are installed in local office or enterprise networks, they need remote service, device, and job management capabilities so that administrators, operators, and End Users can monitor their health and status. In addition, such network Scanners need remote request for job creation capabilties so that operators ane End Users can create Scan Jobs without depending entirely on local console interfaces. This document defines and semantic model for service, device, and job management and request for job creation for these network Scanners.
PWG Candidate Standard 5108.03-2009 - PWG Network Resource Service Semantic Model and Service Interface v1.0
When network Multifunction Devices are installed in local office or enterprise networks shared by large groups of users, the ability to provide resources such as job tickets pre-configured with user’s intent (Job Resource), professionally prepared Logos, Fonts, Forms, etc, that can be reused by user’s jobs is very important for office document productivity. This specification defines a Resource Service that provides operators and users a convenient way to remotely store, manage resources so that they can be retrieved and shared later through job creation requests to other services of network Multifunction Devices.
PWG Candidate Standard 5108.04-2011 - Copy Service Semantic Model and Service Interface v1.0
Network print devices have evolved to support additional
multifunction services, in particular Copy Service. When
Copy Devices are installed in local office or enterprise
networks, they need remote service, device, and job
management capabilities so that administrators, operators,
and users can monitor their health and status. In
addition, such Copy Devices need remote job submission
capabilities so that operators and users can create
CopyJobs without depending entirely on local console
interfaces. This document defines a semantic model for
service, device, and job management and job submission for
these Copy Devices.
PWG Candidate Standard 5108.05-2011 - FaxOutService Semantic Model and Service Interface v1.0
Network print devices have evolved to support additional multifunction services, in particular FaxOutService. When FaxOut Devices are installed in local office or enterprise networks, they need remote service, device, and job management capabilities so that administrators, operators, and end users can monitor their health and status. In addition, such FaxOut Devices need remote job submission capabilities so that operators and end users can create FaxOut Jobs without depending entirely on local console interfaces. This document defines a semantic model for service, device, and job management and job submission for these FaxOut Devices.
PWG Candidate Standard 5108.06-2012 - System Object and System Control Service Semantics v1.0
The PWG Semantic model extension requires a root element
to represent the Imaging Device and to move the print
service to be one of the hosted imaging related
services. The root of the data model is the
System Object. The System Object represents the
Imaging Device. The System Object contains the
elements that represent the Imaging Device status,
description and services. The extension of the
model includes bringing in elements that until now were
primarily accessed via SNMP. This includes the
configuration (i.e., Subunits) and conditions that are
represented in the Printer MIB [RFC3805] as entries in the
Alert Table (i.e., prtAlertTable). The System
Object’s elements contain information that is not visible
via any individual service. For example the Imaging
Device total usage counters, all conditions from every
service, and all Subunits.
The Imaging Device hosts a number of services. Many
of these services are document related such as print, scan
and copy. This specification defines the
SystemControlService. The SystemControlService is
needed to start (create) services and to restart services
that have been previously shut down. It is
desirable to be able to monitor and manage an Imaging
Device as a whole or all the document related services at
once. The Imaging Device’s SystemControlService
provides this functionality
.
