XCounter may be configured to send a customized banner with the print job. Select 
from the following banner templates: 

• 

None: No banner printed 

• 

PCL4 (Letter): HP LaserJet Series II or equivalent - letter size paper 

• 

PCL5 (Letter): HP LaserJet III or equivalent - letter size paper 

•

• 

Postscript (Letter): Any Postscript printer - letter size paper 

• 

PCL4 (A4): HP LaserJet Series II or equivalent - A4 size paper 

• 

PCL5 (A4): HP LaserJet III or equivalent - A4 size paper 

• 

PCL5/PJL (A4): HP LaserJet 4 or equivalent - A4 size paper 

• 

Postscript (A4): Any Postscript printer - A4 size paper 

On printers that support PJL and multiple printer languages such as PCL and 
PostScript, it is recommended that one of the PJL banners is used so that the printer 
can effectively separate the banner print data from the rest of the print job. 

XCounter has two options for handling duplex printing. If the printer driver is 
configured for duplex printing, and a print job is sent to the printer, XCounter can 
either account for all pages sent to the printer or divide the page count in half. The two 
options are as follows:  

• 

Ignore- XCounter will leave the page count alone. 

• 

Divide page count in half- XCounter will check for duplex print jobs in the data 
stream and divide the total page count by 2. 

XCounter detects duplex printing from print data stream sent to the printer. If the 
printer hardware is setup to print duplex by default, and a print job contains no 
information about duplex data, then XCounter will not detect a duplex print job. The 
printer hardware must be setup to print single-sided by default and allow users to 
specify duplex options using printer drivers.
