The total size in K (1024) octets of the document(s) being requested to be processed in the job. The agent SHALL round the actual number of octets up to the next highest K. Thus 0 octets is represented as '0', 1-1024 octets is represented as '1', 1025-2048 is represented as '2', etc.

In computing this value, the server/device SHALL NOT include the multiplicative factors contributed by (1) the number of document copies, and (2) the number of job copies, independent of whether the device can process multiple copies of the job or document without making multiple passes over the job or document data and independent of whether the output is collated or not. Thus the server/device computation is independent of the implementation and indicates the size of the document(s) measured in K octets independent of the number of copies.
