choice of using Crown accounting or the standard TCP/IP accounting
through your UNIX host software. See the TCP/IP Protocol Option

As jobs are printed on your QMS printer, the system collects informa-
tion about different job parameters in relation to the jobs. When each
job completes, the printer stores an entry for the job in the Job
Accounting file(s).

Caution: Do not turn the printer off while the disk is being accessed.
Doing so may cause inconsistencies in the information stored.

The Accounting menu includes five submenus, allowing you to enable
or disable job accounting, allocate disk space when accounting is
enabled, reset accounting, store job accounting information in a sin-
gle job file or in multiple files, and copy the accounting information to
a floppy disk.
Job accounting information may be stored in a single file if it can be
retrieved via FTP on your host. Otherwise, the selected job account-
ing file should be spread into several files so that each of the files (or
segments) fits on a floppy disk.
