Note that this is an interim update, not a final resolution of last call comments. This update , along with the minutes of last weeks call, will be discussed at the next conference call.   As noted in Harry’s minutes, last call comments reflect some confusion over the use of the terms “Job” and “Media” . In the context of the service counters, these terms have a different sense than when used previously. Essentially,  “Job”  counters  refer to elements that the service produces as its purpose,  originally call “work”. “Job” counters refer to the product of the service, e.g., impressions, images etc. It is agree that “job” is not a good term in this case because of confusion with previous use that referred to specific jobs. But “work”, “product” , “output” also had difficulties. We solicit an alternate term.   Similarly, the term ”media” in a service counter context dos not refer to  the media used in conjunction with some user job, but rather the media consumed by the device implementing the service regardless of the user or the job. It is indeed termed “media used” rather than just “media” .   We will add more complete definitions of these terms (as well as “monochrome” (nee black), “full color” (nee color) , “blank” and “highlight color”. But we would appreciate alternate name suggestions for “jobs” and “media used”     Updated Draft at: <a href="ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/wd/wd_wimscount10_20050501.pdf" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/wd/wd_wimscount10_20050501.pdf</a> Minutes with the conclusions from the last conference call are at: <a href="ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/wd/LastCallComments/CounterLastCallCommentsAddressed20050506.pdf">ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/wd/LastCallComments/CounterLastCallCommentsAddressed20050506.pdf</a>   Conference call 11 May 2005 at 12 noon, EDT.
