Displaying Job Accounting
Reports

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 print 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” option has been set to ”Optional,” the user
can enter an account number and media 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.
