Draft fax-processing-status-01.txt

[MAEDA toru <maeda.toru@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have summarized discussions over the mailing list
on draft-maeda-faxwg-fax-processing-status-00.txt
and reflected them into the new version; fax-processing-status-01.txt.
Since ID data base is closed now, I am sending it to the mailing list.
I attached draft text which is not quite long.

Regrads.

INTERNET-DRAFT        Fax Processing Status       12 March 2001

IETF fax WG                                      Toru Maeda, CANON Inc.
Internet draft                                         12 March 2001
                                                   Expires: August 2001



                         Fax Processing Status
               <draft-maeda-faxwg-fax-processing-status-01.txt>

1.   ABSTRACT
  The notification of success/failure of document processing and page-
by-page status from the receiver is very important feature for not only
the classic fax but also the internet fax for Full Mode. EIFAX MAY
optionally use the notification.


2.  MDN Request
The ifax FFPIM transmitter MUST request MDN for the notification of
success/failure of document processing and page-by-page status
from the receiver.  EIFAX MAY request MDN for the notification
optionally.


3.  MDN Response
"a POP (or IMAP) implementation is expected to return MDN,
and an SMTP-only implementation is expected to honor DSN and
return MDN".


4.   MDN extension
To send fax processing status from the receiver, MDN extension field
is used for received page number, error page number and error status.


MDN extension field:
Fax-Report:
           ; Fax-Pages = received total page number
           ; Fax-Errorpage = error page number, Fax-Results = code

"Fax-Pages" will be returned to indicate received total page number
from the receiver, so the transmitter confirms the total page.

"Fax-Errorpage" will be returned to indicate error page number(s)
from the receiver, so the transmitter identifies the error page(s).

"Fax-Results" will be returned to indicate the detailed error status of
processing in the receiver.
These codes will be defined by fax wg discussion.(TBD)

     "01"     does not support the scan line length
     "02"     does not support the resolution
     "03"     does not support the Full color mode
     "04"     does not support the No subsampling
     "05"     does not support the other Illuminant
     "06"     does not support the other gamut range
     "07"     does not support the MRC page


[one page]
The page number in the status should count pages in the TIFF-FX file
but not sheets printed.  One page in the TIFF-FX file is defined by IFD.
One page in the TIFF-FX file may be printed in more than one sheet.

[page number]
The first page of TIFF file is the first page for the file.

[Multiple MIME parts]
For the multiple TIFF files,
"message-part-disposition-1" will be used to indicate the results of
processing in the receiver.
Suffix "1" will be counted up for every Multiple MIME part.


5.  Example
Following examples show related part of MDN, not whole.
EX-1 and EX-2 are the new detail from a normal MDN (expanding the
existing MDN spec).  EX-3,4,5 and 6 are the new detail which describe
the specific MIME parts which were transmitted.
