Description: The interpreter language family enum value registered by IANA is used according to the Printer MIB (RFC 1759). See prtInterpreterLangFamily. For the Job Monitoring MIB, an index into the prtInterpreterTable is not used, since the exact format of the document need not conform exactly to one of the printer's intepreters and, furthermore, the device need not even be a printer (so that the Printer MIB need not be used for non-printers).

For scan-to-file jobs, the xcmDocFormat object specifies the document format desired as a result of the scan.

ISO DPA: Document-format This attribute identifies the overall print document format used for the document. It consists of three elements, a document-format, a document-format-variants and a document- format-version. The latter two elements are optional. The document-format element identifies a particular family of document formats, of which there may exist several versions or variants. The document-format-variants and document-format-

version elements identify a specific instance of a document format. The variant refers to a particular functional subset of a format. For example, the format PostScript has variants of level 1 and level 2, and the format PCL has several variants, including PCL4 and PCL5. The version distinguishes among successive releases of the same basic format and variant. For example, successive versions of Xerox Interpress include versions 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, etc.
