Ira,
That's right. It seems that some of these alerts maybe used by FaxIn or FaxOut or both. When we get to writing the FaxIn specification, we would understand how the various fax device states (state-reasons) influence or describe the alerts.
Thanks,
Daniel.

Hi Daniel,
But the same set of FaxModem subunit alerts (Printer MIB and IPP) MAY be used
by either FaxOut or FaxIn or both - implementation choice.

Mike,
I think what Shin is trying to say is that there is an impossibility of a FaxOut Device to detect such things as training failure or lost carrier. These are generally detected by a receiving facsimile and a sending FaxOut can at best guess based on timeouts in receiving a response. (Shin, please clarify if I understood what you are implying).
Daniel.

We want keywords to define not only what is in T.30 but also what is possible/feasible to report in generate before, during, and after the fax session is negotiated. Right now we actually don't report a lot of the state information shown in the T.30 spec, and clearly some of the MFD Alert fax modem state keywords are not used by the sender...
That said, we haven't made any of the new keywords required to support for IPP FaxOut. Like all "feature" keywords, the (implied) conditional requirement is that you use a standard keyword if you are reporting what that standard keyword represents, i.e., don't use a vendor keyword if a standard keyword exists.
[Note for myself; Add normative reference to ITU-T.30 at http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-T.30-200509-I/en]
