Overview HP Web Jetadmin offers various types of page counter columns to meet the needs of customers. Impressions, sheets, and job type counters all provide value in distinctive areas of interest. More users are printing in duplex mode as a consequence of Go Green/ecological sustainability. Sheet counting methods are designed to enable efficient service and support by counting sheets as they pass through the print engine.

Locate the Duplex Impressions configuration option on the Config tab in any device list that contains the appropriate models with the minimum firmware listed in the previous tables. Enable the configuration item by selecting the checkbox located in the upper-left corner.

Notice that the Configuration Page indicates that both Engine Cycles, and its counterpart Color Engine Cycles, are not weighted for billing. These two counters do not take advantage of the accurate billing algorithm used for impressions. While not valuable for billing purposes, Engine Cycles still adds value by indicating how much more the engine is working compared to the actual impressions.

Print Usage Counters The Print Usage Counters category displays counts as impressions in order to provide billing accuracy for color vs. mono. Totals for color and mono can be displayed per size or as a total of all sizes printed. Total Blank Impressions or any of the Blank Impressions under a specific media size are simply one side of a sheet that has not received a printed impression. Older devices refer to blank pages at the end of a duplex job as Duplex 1 Images.

value of 1. Larger media will have a media size larger than 1, and smaller media will have a media size smaller than 1. For devices that don’t support impressions, Web Jetadmin can use Blank Impressions to correlate values between sheets and impressions. However, the value correlation is only as accurate as the values HP Web Jetadmin acquires from the device itself.

The calculations below are taken from the previous Usage/Configuration Pages from the devices highlighted above in HP Web Jetadmin in blue. The values are given as examples in red type at the end of each calculation description. One additional model, the HP Color LaserJet CM3530 MFP is also highlighted in blue, only to illustrate the fact that the Sheets columns all indicate Not Supported because Duplex Impressions has been enabled on that device.
PAGE 11
Also note that the FutureSmart devices claim Not Supported for Total Count Color as described previously. Remember, this is not a recommended column for obtaining an accurate total color count and has been placed in the Obsolete category. HP Web Jetadmin Reporting and Impressions Changes to HP Web Jetadmin counters related to impressions can also be observed in Reports. Reports are formatted collections of data that HP Web Jetadmin compiles from stored, historic device detail.
PAGE 12
The accuracy is fully dependent on the device firmware and the ability of the device to track impressions. Summary Saying that changes to features and devices related to Duplex Impressions is somewhat complex is an understatement. Great care should be taken in evaluating sheet and usage metrics across all devices and features in HP Web Jetadmin. NOTE: More information about device list columns, including filtering topics, can be found in the white paper titled HP Web Jetadmin 10.
