in response to the following PostScript code:
(%%[ status: starting job; pagecount: ) print
statusdict /pagecount get exec =print
(; otherstring ]%%) print
or
%%[status: finished job; pagecount:
xxxx ; ]%%
in response to the following PostScript code:
(%%[ status: finished job; pagecount: ) print
statusdict /pagecount get exec =print
( ]%%) print
where
xxxx represents the printer's page count since initial powerup
with the current code revision (in other words, it is identical to the
“Faces Printed” value from the start-up page).
Spooling
Since qef requests accounting status from the printer until the job is
completely finished and the printer is idle, spooling is effectively elimi-
nated. This reduces printer speed.
Reverse channel also requires spooling to be disabled.
Accounting Packet Format
The accounting status information is transferred from the printer to
the host in UDP packets which contain the following fields:
Field Data Type Description
status Integer Represents the status of the job (see the
following table).
page Integer Indicates the current logical page count.
interface Integer Indicates the current interface (where decimal 16
is the optional I/O).
sheet count Integer Indicates the current physical page count.
job id Integer Represents the job I.D. on the printer.
