Super pause: This is a propriety XCounter function that holds a print job until 
released by the XPopup program that is normally loaded on the user workstation. 
Normal users will not be able to resume a print job without the XPopup program 
loaded. 
Use Standard pause, to prevent users from resuming their own print jobs that have 
been paused by XCounter by setting certain security attributes of the printer. The 
CREATOR/OWNER object, users, and any groups in question must have only Print 
permission. Any users with only Print permission cannot delete, pause, or resume any 
print jobs. However, all job document names will likely only be called “Remote down 
level document”, which is not very descriptive. This is a limitation of Windows NT. 
Also, in some instances, jobs are not removed from the print queue after they have 
been printed, and have to be deleted manually. 
Therefore, it’s better to use Super pause and give CREATOR/OWNER Manage 
Documents permission. This way, the job document names will appear as they 
should, and users will not be able to resume their jobs. 
Count jobs in advance for display
 
When this option is selected, XCounter will display the actual page count and the cost 
of the job, if selected, in the XControl window. If the client XPopup is utilized, this 
page count and cost information is also displayed at the client workstation in the 
XPopup window. The following three options may be selected: 
• 
None 
Advance page count is disabled  
• 
Slower 
Advance page count is enabled.  
Note: A slower performance of the XPopup program may be encountered 
depending on the server hardware being used. 
• 
Faster 
 Advance page count is enabled. 
Note: An increase is CPU utilization may be encountered depending on the print job 
size, and/or the type of server hardware used. 
Include banner in page count 
When this option is selected, XCounter adds the banner page to the total page count. 
If this option is not selected, XCounter does not include the banner in the total page 
count. 
Disable print notification 
When this option is selected, XCounter will clear the Notify name from the print job 
configuration.
