Ack Pages: The number of pages to send to the printer for printing
before sending an acknowledgement request.
Acknowledgement requests slow the printing process down, as the
printer needs to process the request and return the information.
The default Ack Pages number is 100 pages which means the Print
Manager will send an acknowledgement request to the printer in 100
page increments until the end of the job. Given the overhead in
processing such requests, the smaller the Page number, the slower the
printing becomes.
