Changes from v0.1 to v0.02 (sorry about the numbering anomaly): 1)      Change the names of the high level counters to TotalXxx (e.g. TotalBlackImpressions) 2)      Use FullColor instead of Color in counter names to align with Job MIB and IPP (e.g. TotalFullColorImpressions) 3)      Add exclusion of HighlightColor counts in FullColor counts definitions.  TotalHightColorImpressions + TotalFullColorImpressions will equal the number impressions with color other than black. 4)      Remove definitions of Large counters.  Perhaps we will add a table of media used counters 5)      Consistently prefix counter names with service followed by item being counted (e.g. BlackCopied Impressions becomes CopyBlackImpressions) 6)      ISSUE: IBM has requested the addition of idle times.  a.      How do we represent idle time? (elapsed time, %, ...) b.      How fined grained is the counter? c.      Do we also need active time? d.      We should keep in mind limiting demand on server when specifying these metrics e.      We see two different aspects: utilization of the device(device deployment) vs. measuring device uptime to meet service agreement(amount of time device is in service) 7)      Change ServiceXxx to MaintainanceXxx (e.g. MaintainanceImpressions) to avoid overload and confusion of "Service". 8)      Watermark do not count as impression (added ISSUE on definition of impression WBMM definition vs. rfc2707) 9)      Change Xxx2SidedXxx to XxxTwoSidedXxx (e.g. TotalTwoSidedSheets) 10)     Remove PowerOnImpressions (it can be derived via events and existing counters) 11)     Alignment with rfc2707 is a design requirement 12)     Change XxxNetworkSent to XxxScanToFile (e.g. ScanToFileImages)  to include locally stored scanned images 13)     Generalize InternetFax to NetworkFax to include any Fax over a network. (remove protocol mapping to include email, http or IPP) 14)     Clarify Fax refers to PSTN Fax 15)     Need total Scan Counters (e.g. TotalScanImages) 16)     Remove '-' from E-MailXxx (e.g. EmailImagesSent) Pete <UL><UL><UL><UL> <A NAME="_MailAutoSig">Peter Zehler</A> XEROX Xerox Innovation Group Email: PZehler@crt.xerox.com Voice:    (585) 265-8755 FAX:      (585) 422-7961 US Mail: Peter Zehler <UL>         Xerox Corp.         800 Phillips Rd.         M/S 128-25E </UL></UL></UL></UL></UL>                                       Webster NY, 14580-9701 </BODY> </HTML>
