Introduction
Printer Job Accounting
Your QMS printer provides job accounting, which can be used to
extract information such as paper utilization per user, time consumed
servicing print jobs per user, usage of different emulations, connectiv-
ity options, frequency of jams, times of peak use, features and options
most commonly used (such as duplexing or finishing options), and
number, complexity, and size of jobs per user. The QMS 4060 printer
controller contains a “real time clock” which automatically stamps the
time and date on your accounting information.
The accounting feature provides the information you need to assess
printer use. The accounting is performed by the printer rather than a
host, and the extracted information can be uploaded to any host by
copying via the FTP get command (if your host supports this com-
mand).
This information is useful for billing, report generation, and site
resource planning. For further information see the “Accounting” sec-
tion in chapter 4, “Printer Configuration,” in the
Reference
.
User Benefit—You have access to billing and printer management
information for cost sharing and resource allocation.
Energy Star Compliance
User Benefit—The EPA Energy Star Computers program promotes
the use of energy-efficient personal computers, monitors, and printers
and the reduction of air pollution caused by power generation.
The QMS 4060 Print System (base
model) is compliant with US Environmen-
tal Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star
regulations. After a specified length of
inactivity, the printer changes to a low-
power state (the engine remains on, but
the fuser turns off). When a print job is
received, the printer returns to normal
power within 90 seconds.
