HP Web Jetadmin - Impression Counting and HP Web Jetadmin
5
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. Engine
Cycles can be used for field
troubleshooting and to also
understand the overall cycles a
device has used during its life. It
is a value that is used to troubleshoot behaviors related to rotations, jams and overall hardware use.
Note: The Color Engine Cycles
count is still available in HP Web
Jetadmin, although it has been
moved to the Obsolete category. It
is called Total Count Color, but it
will always match the Color Engine
Cycles count on the device
Configuration Page. The
recommended column for total color
is Total Color Impressions under
the Printer Usage category. This
Total Count Color counter is still
made available primarily for legacy
devices. It will claim Not
Supported for FutureSmart devices
at this time.
Print Sheet Counters
The Print Sheet Counters category contains media sizes and various totals, such as Total
Sheets, Total Simplex Sheets, and Total Duplex Sheets. These counters are most useful in
cases where billing accuracy isn’t important. These counters will be used when it is desired to see if
duplex printing is being used as recommended. Totals for simplex and duplex can be displayed per
size or as a total of all sizes printed.
