The first paragraph of section 4.2.4 (Create-Job) says (highlighting is =
mine):

   This RECOMMENDED operation is similar to the Print-Job operation
   (Section 4.2.1), except that in the Create-Job request, a Client does
   not supply Document data or any reference to Document data.  Also,
   the Client does not supply any of the "document-name",
   "document-format", "compression", or "document-natural-language"
   operation attributes.  This operation is followed by one or more
   Send-Document or Send-URI operations.  In each of those operation
   requests, the Client MAY supply the "document-name",
   "document-format", and "document-natural-language" attributes for
   each Document in the Job.
