Terminology

The terminology used in this CR should conform to the "Rules for the structure and drafting of International Standards", 5th Edition, 2005 available at:

http://isotc.iso.org/livelink/livelink.exe/fetch/2000/2122/3146825/4229629/4230450/4230456/ISO_IEC_Directives__Part_2__Rules_for_the_structure_and_drafting_of_International_Standards__2004__5th_edition___pdf_format_.pdf?nodeid=4230517&vernum=0

Particular attention shall be paid to Annex H which lays out guidelines for the expression of provisions.

Background/Rationale (Explanation of the background and reason(s) for the requested change, and supporting documentation):

As part of the PWG/DMTF Work Register, PWG is updating the printing-related classes in the CIM data model.  The PWG models for printing related devices and services include many properties that need to be managed but are not currently represented in CIM at all.  The CIM model is being extended to include these important management objects.  This requires extensions to the CIM_Printer class and the addition of other CIM classes to represent the capabilities, settings, and counters required.  

Many early implementers of this class are expected to be proxy providers for SNMP-capable printers.  A few properties in this class are included to permit software and users to correlate status and event information between CIM and legacy SNMP access paths.  It is expected that such properties will be deprecated when they are no longer needed for this purpose.  

The current new class, CIM_PrintInterlock, is one of the several classes to be added. 

The class CIM_PrintInterlock represents covers and operational interlocks in a Printer device.  If the operation of the device is impaired by opening a cover or tripping an interlock, by removing a toner cartridge for instance, then the status of the cover or interlock should change to reflect this condition. 

The distinction between covers and interlocks is present for historical reasons: the existing Printer model distinguishes the two types of interlocks.
