Copying the Accounting Files
Accounting files should be transferred to your host computer periodi-
cally to keep the printer from being overloaded with data and to allow
you easy analysis of data.

discussed in this section are performed. Use the
ls
command in the
DSK6:/admin directory to see which accounting files you are going to
retrieve. The
ls
and
cp
commands are issued from a remote console.
Copy the accounting information in one of the following ways, which
are described in detail in the next section.

available to the printer
