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.
Accounting Menu
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 single job file or in multiple files, and copy the accounting information.
Job accounting information may be stored in a single file if it can be retrieved via FTP on your host. Otherwise, the selected job accounting file should be spread into several files.
Setting the Accounting Mode
The Accounting Mode option enables or disables job accounting. Choices are Enabled or Disabled with a default of Disabled. In order for the accounting process to run on your system, you must enable accounting via the in control panel or via remote console. When accounting is disabled any files containing data remain untouched. However, empty files are removed to save disk space.
Allocating Disk Space
The Operator Control/Accounting/Disk Space option allocates disk space for job accounting files. The range of values is 51200 (50 KB) to 10240 (10 MB) with a default value of 01024 KB (1 MB).
