These are posted at <a href="ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/mfd/white/MFD_Outline_Nov_00.doc">ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/mfd/white/MFD_Outline_Nov_00.doc</a>.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I have noticed some roughness in the Scan Service Terminology (I think Glen mentioned it) and a typeo:<o:p></o:p> “CrossFeed direction This is the direction perpendicular to the movement of the Hard Copy<o:p></o:p> Document or light bar of the scanner. For scanners that use a<o:p></o:p> technology other that a light bar, this is the direction along which the<o:p></o:p> image data is acquired most slowly. (See also Fast Scan direction, X<o:p></o:p> and �7.1.4) This direction is sometimes referred to as XFeed<o:p></o:p> direction.”<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I expect �the cross-feed is the direction along which the image data is acquired most rapidly.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Also, although I thought I understood the ScanJobTicket Lifecycle diagram (Fig 5 in the Scan Service Spec), when Pete explained it, I admit that I found it confusing when I tried to extrapolate a generalized JobTicket diagram, particularly when also looking at earlier versions and at the Multifunction Device Overview diagram �(fig 1) in the current spec. If this looks OK to everyone else, I will figure it out.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I would appreciate comments on the MFD Outline white paper…whether “it’s a waste of time” or “ it’s a useful document” or whatever is appropriate in between. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thanks,<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Bill Wagner<o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html>
