Unless overridden in a "finishings-col" value, the enum or keyword value represents the same intent, for example to put a single staple at the top left corner of the page you could specify either of the following Job Template attributes:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class=""> finishings=20</div><div class=""> finishings-col={finishing-template='staple-top-left'}</div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">A Printer reports the exact finishing intent for each of the standard enum keywords in the "finishings-col-database" and "finishings-col-ready" attributes, for example:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class=""> finishings-col-database=...,{finishing-template='staple-top-left' stitching={stitching-method='crimp' ...}},...</div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Conceptually a Printer's web page could offer UI for the "default stapling method", and that default would be reflected in the Printer's "finishings-col-database" and "finishings-col-ready" attributes in the "stitching-method" member attribute. Similarly, a Printer might support Set-Printer-Attributes or other means of updating the finishing defaults.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The advantage of this approach is that Client software does not need to support or even know about new enum values to take advantage of "eco stapling" (aka crimping). And with the formal definition of "finishing-template" as a superset of the existing "finishings" enum keyword names, the Client can easily support new finishing processes (including vendor/site-defined composite processes) by getting the list of supported "finishing-template" values and their localized strings. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Moreover, the choice to use physical staples or crimping is often a site decision/policy, so reusing the existing staple enums and keywords ensures that existing Client software complies with that policy without changes.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Had we added additional enums (24 by my count), we would be waiting for Clients to adopt them (years).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jun 18, 2018, at 3:38 PM, Rizzo, Christopher <<a href="mailto:Christopher.Rizzo@xerox.com" class="">Christopher.Rizzo@xerox.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Menlo-Regular; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt;" class="">This question is in regard to section 5.2.13.3 stitching-method member attribute of stitching collection on finishings-col collection:<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt;" class="">There is a 'crimp' keyword value for stitching-method.
