HP Web Jetadmin - Impression Counting and HP Web Jetadmin

4
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. When attempting to
enable impression counting on a device, HP Web Jetadmin presents an “OPT In” message that states
the device will change how it counts pages and will be viewable from all customer-viewable
perspectives, including the EWS Usage page, Printed Usage page, and HP Web Jetadmin.
The following tables compare how the device and HP Web Jetadmin treat the counters before and
after the Duplex Impressions feature is enabled.

Displaying Counters in Columns
In the HP Web Jetadmin device list columns, a variety of counters can be displayed, both impressions
and sheets based, in the Counters category.
Engine Cycle Count
The first noticeable counter, and likely the most widely supported counter on all printer models,
including third party printers, is Engine Cycle Count. This counter is provided by a simple
Standard Printer MIB query of prtMarkerLifeCount. It is the equivalent of an odometer count,
completely oblivious to color/mono, simplex/duplex, or page size. It will always match the Engine
Cycle Count displayed under a printer’s Configuration Page.
