RFC 3805                     Printer MIB v2                    June 2004


        items, in order:

        a. A keyword, composed of alphabetic characters (A-Z, a-z)
        represented by their NVT ASCII [RFC854] codes, that
        identifies a channel attribute,

        b. The NVT ASCII code for an Equals Sign (=) (code 61) to
        delimit the keyword,

        c. A data value encoded using rules specific to the
        PrtChannelType to with the prtChannelInformation applies which
        must in no case allow an octet with value 10 (the NVT ASCII
        Line Feed code),

        d. the NVT ASCII code for a Line Feed character (code 10) to
        delimit the data value.

        No other octets shall be present.

        Keywords are case-sensitive.  Conventionally, keywords are
        capitalized (including each word of a multi-word keyword) and
        since they occupy space in the prtChannelInformation, they are
        kept short.

        3. If a channel attribute has multiple values, it is
        represented by multiple entries with the same keyword, each
        specifying one value. Otherwise, there shall be at most one
        entry for each attribute.

        4. By default, entries may appear in any order.  If there are
        ordering constraints for particular entries, these must be
        specified in their definitions.

        5. The prtChannelInformation value by default consists of text
        represented by NVT ASCII graphics character codes.  However,
        other representations may be specified:

        a. In cases where the prtChannelInformation value contains
        information not normally coded in textual form, whatever
        symbolic representation is conventionally used for the
        information should be used for encoding the
        prtChannelInformation value.  (For instance, a binary port value
        might be represented as a decimal number using NVT ASCII
        codes.)  Such encoding must be specified in the definition of
        the value.

        b. The value may contain textual information in a character set
        other than NVT ASCII graphics characters.  (For instance, an
