PMP>clarification of prtMarkerSuppliesColorantIndex

[Caruso,Angelo]

I think Norio's clarification is excellent and should be included in 
 the next (and hopefully final) draft.

PWG members,


I am Norio Iwamoto working for Fuji Xerox in Japan.  The following is a 
simple editorial comment about prtMarkerSuppliesColorantIndex.


The newest printer MIB draft says:


          prtMarkerSuppliesColorantIndex OBJECT-TYPE
              SYNTAX     Integer32 (0..65535)
              MAX-ACCESS read-only
              STATUS     current
              DESCRIPTION
                   "The value of prtMarkerColorantIndex corresponding to
                   the colorant with which this marker supply sub-unit is
                   associated.  This value shall be 0 if there is no
                   colorant table."
              ::= { prtMarkerSuppliesEntry 3 }


I think this DESCRIPTION should be modified, for example to: 


                   "The value of prtMarkerColorantIndex corresponding to
                   the colorant with which this marker supply sub-unit is
                   associated.   This value shall be 0 if there is no
                   colorant table or if this supply does not depend on a 
                   single specified colorant."


A typical example that does not depend on a single specified colorant is 
'fuser' and 'wasteToner'.


I know this may be too late for the new Printer MIB, but please try to
consider it if possible.


Thanks in advance,


//Norio
