Introduction
The Océ CPS900
®
has an accounting function that enables you to save certain
information about a print job in an accounting log file. You can use the information
in this log file to calculate prices or generate statistics about the print jobs on the Océ
CPS900
®
.
When you start a print job on the Océ CPS900
®
you enter an account number before
the job is started. The Océ CPS900
®
creates an accounting record for this job. This
accounting record is sent to the controller. The controller stores the information in
the accounting log file.
You can retrieve the accounting log file from the controller for use in e.g. a database
application.
The accounting information
Access the stored accounting information
You can access the stored accounting information through a webserver on the
controller.
On the controller you find an active account log file and one or more inactive files.
The active file is the current account log file. This file is opened at 24.00 hours and
is active for one day. After one day this file becomes inactive. The active file has the
extension .ACL. The inactive files that can be accessed have the extension .CSV.
When the Océ CPS900
®
initializes, a message is sent to the controller. The contents
of this message describe which information is sent to the controller and stored in the
account log file. The table below gives an overview of the information that the
account log file can store.
