Setting The Job Accounting Parameters

Purpose

As implemented in Firmware Release 4.0, the Controller provides the ability
to track media usage from all print jobs containing account number data.
This data is provided by the user of such workstation tools as printer drivers
and the Document Submission Tool. The usefulness of the individual
account data is dependent upon the setting of the “Printer Accounting Mode”
option (Enabled, Optional, or Disabled) of the “Job Accounting” submenu of
the “System Administration” main menu accessed through the Printer Control
Panel.

• If the “Printer Accounting Mode” option has been set to “Enabled,” media

usage is accrued in System Account 0.1, as well as in the individual user
account numbers (123456.1234, for example).

• If the “Printer Accounting Mode” option has been set to “Disabled,” media

usage is accrued in System Accounts 0.1 and 0.3.

• If the “Printer Accounting Mode” is set to “Optional,” the user can enter an

account number and usage will be posted to System Account 0.1 and the
user’s account number (123456.1234, for example). If the user does not
enter in an account number, media usage tracking will behave as if job
accounting is disabled, with media usage being accrued in System
Accounts 0.1 and 0.3.
