PMP> Updated PrtMarkerSuppliesSupplyUnitTC for FIN MIB

[Henerlau, Paul]

Ron -

    Thanks for such a prompt response to my query about
the PrtMarkerSuppliesSupplyUnitTC for the Finishing MIB.

    The changes which you have indicated in the Printer MIB
will address our needs perfectly.

    Thx again...

FIN MIB

	Paul,

	The updated Printer MIB includes many additions to support the
Finisher
	MIB in prtMarkerSuppliesTypeTC.  The curent text is:


	PrtMarkerSuppliesTypeTC ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
	    --   This value is a type 3 enumeration
	    STATUS     current
	    DESCRIPTION
	        "The type of this supply."
	    SYNTAX     INTEGER {
	                   other(1),
	                   unknown(2),
	                   toner(3),
	                   wasteToner(4),
	                   ink(5),
	                   inkCartridge(6),
	                   inkRibbon(7),
	                   wasteInk(8),
	                   opc(9), -- photo conductor
	                   developer(10),
	                   fuserOil(11),
	                   solidWax(12),
	                   ribbonWax(13),
	                   wasteWax(14),
			   fuser(15),
			   coronaWire(16),
			   fuserOilWick(17),
			   cleanerUnit(18),
			   fuserCleaningPad(19),
			   transferUnit(20),
			   tonerCartridge(21),
			   fuserOiler(22),
	            -- Values for Finisher MIB
	                   water(23),
	                   wasteWater(24),
	                   glueWaterAdditive(25),
	                   wastePaper(26),
	                   bindingSupply(27),
	                   bandingSupply(28),
	                   stitchingWire(29),
	                   shrinkWrap(30),
	                   paperWrap(31),
	                   staples(32),
	                   inserts(33),
	                   covers(34)
	            -- End of values for Finisher MIB
	               }

	This should satisfy your request.  Note that these values are
approved and
	can be legally used with the publication of a new MIB.
