Job accounting
The printer stores information about jobs printed in a log file. The log file is stored either in the printer’s
memory or on an optional hard disk, if one is installed in the printer. If the log file is stored in the
printer’s memory, it is lost when the printer is reset; therefore, it is recommended that a hard disk be
used for job accounting.
The log file is a list of job accounting records. Each record contains fields such as user name, job name,
pages printed, job times, and toner/ink used. Not all fields are supported by all printers. For details, refer
to the CentreWare IS or CentreWare Web online help.
The job accounting values reported vary depending on the protocol and print command used when each
job was printed. For example, using NPRINT over NetWare provides the printer with the most
information about the job being printed. When using Windows and NetWare, the job name is often
LST: or LST:BANNER. Other jobs from other ports may provide even less information about the job.
Job accounting is available through CentreWare IS and CentreWare Web.
