Usage Guidelines

The unit for this attribute is pages. If you change this attribute value, the change can affect performance. You can control how often InfoPrint updates the job attribute pages-completed by decreasing or increasing this value:

  • Decreasing the value (number of pages) increases the number of acknowledgement requests during normal printing activities. This decreases the destination throughput and reduces the complexity of the exception recovery activities that InfoPrint performs.
  • Increasing the value (number of pages) decreases the number of acknowledgement requests. This provides less accurate information about the destination and exception conditions.

Note: This attribute is only used for IPDS printers.
