How Print Counting Works in Direct Print (and How to Choose a Plan)?

In VentorTech Direct Print Pro, usage is based on the number of print requests (“prints”) sent to the print server.

What Is a Print?

A print is a single print request processed by the printing service.

Each request is counted the same, regardless of:

  • Number of pages

  • Document size

  • Number of records included


How Printing Is Counted in Odoo

Printing in Odoo can be triggered in different ways:

  • Manually (e.g. clicking a print button)

  • Automatically (e.g. via automation scenarios or action buttons)

In all cases, print counting depends only on how many print jobs are sent to the print server.

Examples

  • Single document printing
    ✔ counted as 1 print

  • Bulk printing from list view
    Odoo may merge multiple records into one PDF
    ✔ counted as 1 print

  • Automatic printing with multiple copies
    If copies are sent within a single print job
    ✔ counted as 1 print


How to Choose a Plan

Plans are based on the expected number of print requests per billing period (monthly or yearly).

When choosing a plan, estimate:

  • How often printing is triggered

  • How many print jobs are generated (not pages)

You can change your plan at any time if your usage changes.

You can find available plans here:
https://print.ventor.tech/plans

Note:
If your usage exceeds the plan limit, additional prints are charged according to the pricing.

Tip:
We currently offer 3 months of free printing, including 15,000 prints (no credit card required).

This is typically enough to test your printing workflows and estimate your future usage before selecting a plan. Purchase the module on Odoo Apps or ecosystem.ventor.tech and then redeem your offer.


How to Verify Print Counting

If your use case is specific and you want to confirm how prints are counted, you can test it on a demo server.

You can:

  • Reproduce your scenario

  • Trigger printing

  • Check how many print requests are counted

The module includes a print counter:

Note: The counter may update with a delay of 5–10 minutes.
You can also manually refresh it by running the Direct Print Limits Status Updater scheduled action in Odoo (available in debug mode).
