»Note: When accounting is enabled and the Job Accounting files are 100% full, no further print jobs are accepted by the printer until Resetaccounting is selected or until Accounting is disabled. If you disable Accounting at this time, no job information is stored. You can retrieve your accounting files while they are full and then do the Resetaccounting operation. However, to avoid delaying jobs being sent to the printer, it is advisable to perform the retrieve/reset operations before the job accounting files fill up.
Segmenting the Accounting Job File
The Job File Segment menu allows you to decide whether accounting information is stored in the printer in a single file or in multiple files. Choices are Single and Multiple, with Multiple as the default. Although it is convenient to store accounting data in a single file, the multiple file option is useful if you must transfer your files to your host via floppy disk.
If a single file is used, its size equals the Disk Space value described earlier in this section. The file name will be ACC1.JOB.
If multiple files are selected, their combined size equals the File Size value described earlier in this section. Each file will be 1 MB, except the last file, which includes the remaining dedicated space. That is, if you dedicate 10 MB to accounting and select multiple files, the printer creates 10 files of 1 MB each. If you dedicate 5.5 MB to accounting, the printer creates 5 files of 1 MB each and one of 500 KB. The Job file names will be ACC1.JOB, ACC2.JOB, and so on.
