ACCOUNTING
Introduction
For firmware versions 7.0 and greater, the AccXES Client Tool's Accounting Tool is disabled.
Instead, an External Account Server (EAS)- for example, the AccXES Account Management
Tool (AMT) - will be installed on one computer to track the media usage of many printers. The
AMT Administrator will generate the media usage details for all printed (bond, vellum, film)
media and scanned images. This is done according to the User ID and Account ID that you
specify at the scanner or when using the Document Submit Tool. This information is stored
temporarily on the AccXES Controller's hard drive. The AMT will retrieve the information from
the AccXES Controller. You can, however, see the individual printer's present total number of
stored records by looking on the Web PMT Accounting page, in the Records Count field. If
you are the AMT Administrator, go to the AccXES Account Management Tool User Guide to
learn how to install and use the tool.
Accounting Status
- This table reports status information for the following:
1.
Machine Name
- Displays the name of the machine that was set to uniquely identify the
AccXES Controller. The default value is derived from the AccXES Controllers hardware
network address (MAC). If you entered the printer password in the Session Setup, then
the machine name can be changed.
2.
EAS Linked
- Set to On when an External Account Server (EAS) has been in contact with
the AccXES Controller, otherwise it is set to Off.
3.
Disk Used (%)
- Displays the percentage of current use of the AccXES Controller's
available memory in its accounting Job Log file. Note that the use of the Account
Management Tool to download the contents of the Job Log file will purge this memory and
reset this display.
NOTE:
When allocated memory has reached its limit an "Error Accounting Disk Full"
message will be displayed in the status line of the Web PMT's Main Page. Use the
Account Management Tool to download the contents of the Job Log file
.
4.
Records Limit
- Displays the maximum number of accounting records allowed to be
stored in the AccXES Controller's Job Log file. This records limit is preserved when
performing a factory default reset.
5.
Records Count
- Displays the current number of accounting records stored in the
AccXES Controller's Job Log file. Note that the use of the Account Management Tool to
download the contents of the Job Log file will purge the records count and reset this
display to 0. This records count is preserved when performing a factory default reset.
NOTE:
When the Records Count has reached its limit an "Error Accounting Record
Limit" message will be displayed in the status line of the Web PMT's Main Page. Use
the Account Management Tool to download the contents of the Job Log file.
