    This is basically the P2015 printer with flatbed scanner attached. That means you will have to use commands to enter PCL code in HP Webjet Admin.
    I found this set of commands for serial number & page count. I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it works. Please reply either way to help us:

    %-12345X@PJL JOB
    @PJL SET SERVICEMODE = HPBOISEID
    @PJL SET SERIALNUMBER =
    @PJL SET PAGES =
    @PJL SET SERVICEMODE = EXIT
    @PJL EOJ
    %-12345X

    or

    %-12345X@PJL DEFAULT SERVICEMODE=HPBOISEID
    @PJL DEFAULT SERIALNUMBER=XXXXXXXXXX
    @PJL DEFAULT SERVICEMODE=EXIT
    %12345X

    Also these commands must be sent via USB not FTP. They can be sent via LPR command to the IP address. For more information to understand how to implement these codes, it is possible to download the PCL Reference Book (google it). Please reply whether or not it works and what you did, so it will benefit others.

    I completely understand. I believe there is an escape code that has to go in front of the % anyway, but it used to be operating system specific and I would have no idea what to tell you to do to enter it. This was asked before with the P2015 but I didn't have time to even research this much. It is a question I get asked a lot here too. I hope it helps someone who needs to do it. This is one of the perks of working as an in-shop tech for a vendor, I don't have to do this.

    Your printer job language looks right. LPR jar would probably be the easiest way to send the command If it uses TCP/IP. =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
