HP Web Jetadmin - Columns and Filters Detail

Print Usage Counter Selection

As discussed previously in the Feature Navigation and Control

section, HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 Service Release 5 has organized

column detail so that it is easier to find and understand. This is true

with the many usage counters now presented through the new

Counters section in both columns and filtering tools. Figure 12 shows

the columns selection tool with items under Print Sheet Counters

exposed. Note that many items under the Print Sheet Counters and

Print Usage Counters parent counters can be expanded by clicking

the “+” symbol to show sub-properties. Any of these items and their

respective sub-properties can be enabled in a device list and viewed

as individual counters.

A simple rule with these counters is that the expandable items are device-based counters and may or

may not be supported on the device, depending on the firmware and/or device model. Under Print

Sheet Counter, find the following sub-items:

• Total Duplex Sheets

• Total Sheets

• Total Simplex Sheets

These items always reflect the total sum of all sub-items. The same is true for the other counter types,

including Print Usage Counters. Again, each of the sub-items that can be expanded via a “+” symbol

are a device-based counter that is based on the actual property supported at the device. These items

include the following:

• Total Color Impressions

• Total Equivalent Impressions

• Total Impressions

• Total Mono Impressions

All of these items capture the totals from all of the sub-properties available at the device. Total Blank

Impressions is one exception to this rule. This counter is device-based and is supported on devices that

truly count impressions. Remember, a blank impression is simply a side of a page that passed through

the print path without receiving a print impression. These counters are more easily understood when

viewed through the device list as shown in the next section.
