job characteristic
• Queues can be customized to remove unwanted information
• Jobs can be automatically deleted for spool size, total number of pages, total
job cost, parsing errors, non-responding client, creation while unmonitored,
and length of time in the jobs pending queue
• Detailed reports can be sorted for up to seven variables (printer, originating
PC, logon, billing codes (two possible types), color and duplex), and

• Trusted users at private clients can print to any type of monitored printer, but
anonymous users at public clients can print only to secure printers via print
release stations, and must pay for their print jobs
• If billing codes are not used, private clients can print with review only, or can
print to non-secure printers immediately, without any popup dialog (except
printing errors)
• Print jobs can be (but do not have to be) accepted from PCs with no client, or
a non-reporting client, for printing to non-secure printers

password protectable Access or SQL Server database to produce
comprehensive reports on completed print jobs
