HP Web Jetadmin - Impression Counting and HP Web Jetadmin

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. A very simple report might show Total Simplex, Total Duplex, Total Color, and Total
Monochrome counts for a single month at any point in the past when HP Web Jetadmin was able to
collect these details from the device. Figure 2 shows a report for a device with both sheet and
impressions counters.
It is fairly easy to use these six counters to arrive at both sheet and impression usage details that
actually collate. This example is a very simplistic report, but it reveals how these counters work.
The following sections describe some rules to use with reporting in different releases of HP Web
Jetadmin.
HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 Service Release 4 and Earlier
Color Simplex, Mono Simplex, Color Duplex, and Mono Duplex values are stored in historic device
data and appear in the report.
HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 Service Release 5 and Later (Rule 1)
Color Simplex, Mono Simplex, Color Duplex, and Mono Duplex values are no longer stored in
historic device data because these values are no longer considered supported counters. However,
any of these values that were stored before an upgrade to Service Release 5 still appear correctly in
reports when the interval is set accordingly.
HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 Service Release 5 and Later (Rule 2)
Devices that have Duplex Impressions enabled no longer have Simplex and Duplex counters stored.
Simplex and Duplex values appear as <Not supported> in the report.
HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 Service Release 5 and Later (Rule 3)
This version changed device usage tracking. Depending on the firmware and device model, devices
report sheets and impressions differently in Service Release 5. When HP Web Jetadmin generates a
report that crosses the Service Release 5 upgrade date, the report notes the following:
"Data from before mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss AM/PM may contain Duplex Impression data. Two Duplex
Impressions are approximately equivalent to one Duplex Sheet."
The timestamp (mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss) reflects the time recorded during the HP Web Jetadmin 10.2
Service Release 5 upgrade. Duplex data recorded before this date might have been recorded as
either duplex impressions or duplex sheets, depending on whether duplex impressions was enabled,
and continues to be reported as the same values. Future duplex data is recorded as duplex sheets.
