When Job Accounting Mode is enabled the system examines the incoming job for a valid account
number. If none is found, the job is rejected, and an error page is printed.
NOTE: The print drivers and the FreeFlow Accxes Client Tools (ACT) software all have a feature
that allows insertion of a job accounting number. Refer to the help files for these
software products for details.
If Job Accounting is optionally ENABLED, remote print jobs will be printed whether or not they
have a valid account number. If a valid account number is present, the job will be charged to the
user account and also accumulated to a system Generic User Id and Account Code. If no account
number is present, the job is charged to a system Generic User Id and Account Code. This is the
same as when Job Accounting is DISABLED.
