Greetings,

I'm working on the next revision of JPS3v2, and one of the points for revision was rewording section 11. Here is what it says today:

 <> <>11. Relationship of Impressions, Pages, and Sheets <>
The  Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Model and Semantics [STD92] defines attributes for the impressions and media sheets in a job, the PWG Standardized Imaging System Counters 1.1 [PWG5106.1] clarifies the definitions of impressions and sheets, the Standard for the Internet Printing Protocol: Page Overrides [PWG5100.6] defines input pages for page overrides, and this specification defines new Job Description attributes to track the number and progress of input pages within the documents of a Job.

Because the various IPP and PWG standards have used slightly different definitions of impressions, pages, and sheets, and because their interaction with various Job Template attributes has not been documented, the Job Description attributes for impressions ("job-impressions" and "job-impressions-completed") and sheets ("job-media-sheets" and "job-media-sheets-completed") have not been implemented consistently between different vendors' IPP Printers. Table 17 lists the Job Template attributes that affect reporting of impressions and sheets. Only the "page-ranges" Job Template attribute affects the page counts ("job-pages" and "job-pages-completed").

If anybody has recommendations on how this should be reworded, please share.

Cheers,

Smith
