count-job-pages

Specifies whether the server performs job page count for every job with rip-and-hold or rip-and-hold-ignore-ready values of the job-rip-action job attribute on every PSF actual destination, for every incoming AFP printable job, for both, or for none. If the job page count function is enabled by specifying the rip-and-hold value for count-job-pages, InfoPrint Manager updates the page-count document attribute and the job-page-count job attribute after it rips the job.

Usage Guidelines

This attribute affects the job-page-count and page-count attributes.
  • When the job page count function is enabled, InfoPrint Manager updates the values for the job-page-count job attribute and the page-count document attribute after it rips the job.
  • For AFP jobs, the job page count function does not change the job-page-count job attribute or the page-count document attribute.
  • When the job page count function is enabled, the pdpr command that submits an AFP printable file will not return until the page count is calculated.
  • The result of the page count function might not be 100% accurate, because only the begin page group (BPG) and end page group (EPG) pages are counted. For example, if you have a formdef that has multiple copy counts and uses constant back, front, or both, the page count calculated will not reflect the actual number of the printed pages.
