Page Count Reporting - Xerox 6100BD - Phaser Color Laser Printer User Manual

Page Count Reporting

IPDS User Guide
Using Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPS Manager
Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server reports only IPDS application
pages in the Committed and Stacked page counts returned to
IPDS hosts. Pages that are printed in response to Xerox
FreeFlow® Print Server features are excluded from the count. For
example, system generated slip-sheets are not counted.
The print server provides many advanced features at the printer.
Advanced features which change the number of physical pages
printed by the printer can affect the page counts reported to the
host, causing IPDS recovery to fail, and causing other job
management problems at the host console. IPDS page count
reporting for Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server allows advanced
features to function without any negative impact.
Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS advanced page counting:
• Protects the integrity of IPDS jobs, even when Xerox
FreeFlow® Print Server features are employed that cause a
larger or smaller number of physical sheets to be printed, than
were actually sent by the host.
• Protects the integrity of IPDS jobs even when pages are
processed in a different order than originally provided by the
host.
• Permits Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server features to be invoked,
without affecting host job management or recovery for IPDS
jobs, even if these features reorder the pages, or change the
number of physical sheets they require to print.
Customers can use a number of print server features without
affecting the page count:
