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 dated 2005/05/12, the Printer Working Group (PWG, see http://www.pwg.org/) is updating the printing-related classes in the CIM data model. PWG is submitting a series of Change Requests to update the CIM model to align with the current model developed in the PWG.

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. If these properties are to be visible to CIM-based management applications, then they must appear in the CIM model.

The current PWG printer device model, as embodied in the SNMP Printer MIB v2, RFC3805, contains many properties Some examples:

• Printer console displays and lights, and cover and other interlocks

• Printer input and output trays containing media

• Printer media paths that control the layout of page images on physical sheets

• Printer toners, colorants, and other supplies

• Printer communication channels and language interpreters

• Printer counters for pages and sheets printed in various operational modes

The CIM model will be extended to include these important management objects. This will require extensions to the CIM_Printer class and the addition of other CIM classes to represent the capabilities, settings, and counters required.

The current new class, CIM_PrintOutputTray, is the first of several classes to be added.
