/**

 * Class JobImpressions is an integer valued printing attribute class that

 * specifies the total size in number of impressions of the document(s) being

 * submitted. An "impression" is the image (possibly many print-stream pages in

 * different configurations) imposed onto a single media page.

 * <P>

 * The JobImpressions attribute describes the size of the job. This attribute is

 * not intended to be a counter; it is intended to be useful routing and

 * scheduling information if known. The printer may try to compute the

 * JobImpressions attribute's value if it is not supplied in the Print Request.

 * Even if the client does supply a value for the JobImpressions attribute in

 * the Print Request, the printer may choose to change the value if the printer

 * is able to compute a value which is more accurate than the client supplied

 * value. The printer may be able to determine the correct value for the

 * JobImpressions attribute either right at job submission time or at any later

 * point in time.

 * <P>

 * As with {@link JobKOctets JobKOctets}, the JobImpressions value must not

 * include the multiplicative factors contributed by the number of copies

 * specified by the {@link Copies Copies} attribute, independent of whether the

 * device can process multiple copies without making multiple passes over the

 * job or document data and independent of whether the output is collated or

 * not. Thus the value is independent of the implementation and reflects the

 * size of the document(s) measured in impressions independent of the number of

 * copies.

 * <P>

 * As with {@link JobKOctets JobKOctets}, the JobImpressions value must also not

 * include the multiplicative factor due to a copies instruction embedded in the

 * document data. If the document data actually includes replications of the

 * document data, this value will include such replication. In other words, this

 * value is always the number of impressions in the source document data, rather

 * than a measure of the number of impressions to be produced by the job.

 * <P>

 * <B>IPP Compatibility:</B> The integer value gives the IPP integer value. The

 * category name returned by <CODE>getName()</CODE> gives the IPP attribute

 * name.

 * <P>
