I question why the term "ImpressionsTwoSided" is used in the counter names.  This seems to </div> <div>    me to be confusing, since an impression is one side of a sheet a two sided impression is a </div> <div>    two sided single side of a sheet?  Wouldn't "SheetsTwoSided" be better? <PZ>The reason it is impressions is that it counts impressions.  The ImpressionsTwoSided counter increments for each side that is impressed.  The impression counters allow us to derive the number of simplex and duplex sheets.  The MediaUsed counter is used for tracking the media resources consumed by the various services.</PZ> </div> <div>   </div> <div> 2. The "MediaUsedMedia" and "MediaUsedMediaInfo" appear to not be counters?  Why are they </div> <div>     listed as counters? <PZ>These two elements are used to uniquely identify a media instance.  I'll add some explanitory text to make it clearer.</PZ> </div> <div>   </div> <div> That aside, here is my recommendation for a standard subset: </div> <div>     1.  Impressions </div> <div>     2.  BlankImpressions </div> <div>     3.  ImpressionsTwoSided  (SheetsTwoSided) </div> <div>     4.  KOctetes </div> <div>     5.  AuxiliaryImpressions </div> <div>     6.  AuxiliaryImpressionsTwoSided  (AuxiliarySheetsTwoSided) </div> <div>     7.  WasteImpressions </div> <div>     8.  WasteImpressionsTwoSided  (WasteSheetsTwoSided) </div> <div> <div>     9.  MediaUsedTotalSheets </div> <div>     10.  ProcessingTime </div> <div> 11.    TotalTime <PZ>Thanks.  I assume items 1, 2 and 3 are for the DocumentData counts</PZ> </div> <div>   </div> <div>     Ron Bergman </div> <div>     Ricoh Printing Systems America </div> <div>   </div> </div> </div> <blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt'> -----Original Message----- From: owner-wims@pwg.org [mailto:owner-wims@pwg.org]On Behalf Of Zehler, Peter Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 10:57 AM To: PWG Announce (pwg-announce@pwg.org) Cc: Pwg WIMS (wims@pwg.org) Subject: WIMS> ACTION Request: suggestions for mandatory MFP counters in Counter MIB proposal All, The work on the "PWG Standard for Multifunction Device Counters" is nearing completion.  Before a standard MIB is coded we are looking for the subset of counters to mandate in all implementations of the Counter MIB or schema.  One of the goals of this work is to facilitate the development of fleet management applications in a heterogeneous imaging environment.  I need input from you to arrive at a manageable subset of counters that meets the needs of fleet management applications and is not to onerous for MFP vendors to implement.  Please send me your input by close of business Friday October 29.  Send your comments to <<a href="mailto:wins@pwg.org">mailto:wins@pwg.org</a>> or you can mail them to me d irectly <<a href="mailto:pzehler@crt.xerox.com">mailto:pzehler@crt.xerox.com</a>>  . The current version of the specification is available on the PWG ftp server at  <<a href="ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/wd/wd-wimscount10-20040913.pdf">ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/wd/wd-wimscount10-20040913.pdf</a>>  or <<a href="ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/wd/wd-wimscount10-20040913.doc">ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/wd/wd-wimscount10-20040913.doc</a>>    Thanks, Pete Peter Zehler XEROX Xerox Innovation Group Email: PZehler@crt.xerox.com Voice:    (585) 265-8755 FAX:      (585) 422-7961 US Mail: Peter Zehler               Xerox Corp.               800 Phillips Rd.               M/S 128-25E               Webster NY, 14580-9701 </blockquote> </div> </body> </html>
