[IPP] RFC: Proposed errata for PWG 5100.3 (Production Printing)

Paul,

My $.02 CDN: what Ira said, but also my whole point was not to import what has been done in the other job tickets but to make sure what we did was not incompatible - we should be able to a) express what the simple enums expand to and b) allow for a /slightly/ better mapping to/from other job tickets for use on typical office equipment, without obvious incompatibilities.

For example, I don't want to see IPP support the complex origami that is possible with JDF's Fold Catalogue, but I *do* want to support the various 2, 3, and 4-panel folding patterns that are common when printing brochures and maps on office equipment.  These currently are covered by the new finishings values in the IPP Paid Printing Extensions, but the fold positions, directions, and edges are assumed/calculated by the printer based on the media used.  It would be nice to specify where these folds occur on the output media, e.g., to fold so that a "tab" is left exposed in a 3-fold design.

I propose that we amend the definition of the finishing-template member attribute and finishing-template-supported Printer attribute to include type2 keywords, e.g.:

> Longer term we should also probably extend the finishings-col Job Template attribute to include fold, punch, and trim member attributes, which would make use of the same kinds of values as as the current "stitching" member attribute (which IIRC handles bind, edge stitch, and staple, although that too could be made explicit), for example:
