What can I do with this system value?

You can specify the maximum number of printer output (spooled) files that can be created per job. Printer output files are not deleted when this value is changed to a lower number. Therefore, a job can have more than this maximum number of printer output files if the printer output files existed before the system value was set to a lower number. The range of values is 9999 through 999999.
