What is prtInputCapacityUnit?

This object specifies the unit of measurement used to express input tray capacity and current supply levels on a printer. Possible units include sheets, feet, or weight, enabling management systems to correctly interpret capacity values across different printer types. An operator reads this before interpreting prtInputMaxCapacity to understand whether a tray holds 500 sheets or 500 meters of media.
