# Class CIM_Printer
extends CIM_LogicalDevice

Capabilities and management of the Printer LogicalDevice. The ABNF for CIM references to PWG Standards and MIBs is in the directory 'ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/general/process' in the file 'pwg-cim-references-format-20060309.txt'. Examples include: (a) a MappingStrings reference to a PWG Standard is 'PWG5101-1.PWG|Section 4 Media Color Names'; (b) a MappingStrings reference to a PWG MIB is 'MIB.PWG|PWG-IMAGING-COUNTER-MIB.icMonitorCompletedJobs'. Note: A Printer shall be associated with at least one of every required component (e.g., PrintMarker) via an instance of the PrinterComponent class. A Printer may be associated with zero or more optional components (e.g., PrintSupply) via an instance of the ConcreteComponent class. See: Model in section 2 of Printer MIB (RFC 3805).

Description

string

Specifies the current character set that is being used for the output of text that relates to the management of the Printer. The character set that is described by this property should also be listed in CharsetsSupported. The string that is specified by this property should conform to the semantics and syntax that are specified by section 4.1.2 ("Charset parameter") in RFC 2046 (MIME Part 2) and contained in the IANA character-set registry. Examples include "utf-8", "us-ascii" and "iso-8859-1". Note: For compatiblity with the IETF Printer MIB (RFC 3805) and IETF IPP/1.1 (RFC 2911), values in this array property shall be parallel to values in CharSetsSupported.

Description

string

Note: The use of this property has been deprecated, due to ambiguity. Instead use PrintInterpreter.LangType. Deprecated description: An array of free-form strings that provides more detailed explanations of any MIME types that are supported by the Printer. If data is provided for this property, then the (value=47), "Mime", should be included in the Languages Supported property.

Description

string

Note: The use of this property has been deprecated, due to ambiguity. Instead use the MediaType, MediaName, and MediaSizeName and IsDefault properties in PrintInputTray. Deprecated description: An array of free-form strings specifying the types and sizes of paper that are currently available on the Printer. The values of the property SHOULD conform to the requirements of the PWG Media Standardized Names specification [PWG5101.1], which defines the normative values for this property. See older Appendix B 'Media Size Names' and Appendix C 'Media Names' of IETF Printer MIB v2 [RFC3805] which list the values of standardized media names defined in ISO DPA [ISO10175].
