Depository DEP

Depository: takes envelopes and bags into a deposit bin.

This specification describes the functionality of the services provided by the Depository (DEP) services under XFS, by defining the service-specific commands that can be issued, using the WFSGetInfo, WFSAsyncGetInfo, WFSExecute and WFSAsyncExecute functions.

Across the editions

Each edition of XFS 3.x has one part per device class. The table lists the editions that have a part for Depository and, for each, how many queries, commands and events the part defines. A dash means the edition has no part for this class.

Source: the message tables of each edition's document. Queries are the WFS_INF_ messages, commands the WFS_CMD_ messages, events the service, execute, user and system events.

The 3.50 document

The part is published as CWA 16926-67. Like every XFS 3.x part it opens with chapters that describe the device and how an application uses it, then lists each query, command and event with its data, and closes with background chapters and the C header.

How to read the numbers

In XFS 3.x an application asks a device about itself with a query (WFS_INF_… – status, capabilities, the forms a printer knows), makes it do something with a command (WFS_CMD_… – print, dispense, read a card), and learns about things that happen on their own from an event (a card taken, a door opened, a threshold reached). The counts above are taken from each document's message tables, so they show how the class grew from edition to edition. A count that does not change does not mean the messages did not: fields are added and meanings refined within a message, and that is not counted here.
