The runoff count (or castoff count, as it's sometimes called) is based on 12 pt. courier (or 10 pt - but it has to be a mono-space font), double spaced, one inch margins.
This is used to determine things like the cost of typesetting, and it gives a rough estimate of typeset pages, which you can then estimate printing costs for a book.
