The account logging mechanism

For accounting purposes, the Océ Power Logic Controller is able to keep track of all your jobs. For each copy/print/scan job the job info and the paper usage is stored. For scan to file with check print 2 records are generated, one for the scan to file and one for the check print.

All this data is stored in a file: the account log file. The account file contains a record for each copy/print/scan job.

Account logging consists of the following steps:

1 Enable the Account logging option

2 Set the file format properties

3 Make copy/print/scan jobs on the right account

4 Retrieve the generated Account logging file

5 Use the generated Account logging file

1 Enable the Account logging option

Account logging is an option. You enable this option in the Settings Editor via a password (see ‘Account logging’ on page 191).

2 The account log file

File format The account logging information is stored in a file. The format of the file is either ASCII (using the ISO Latin-1 encoding) or UTF-16. The format depends on the Logging file format setting (see ‘File format’ on page 201). The file format is either YYYYMMDD.csv (for ASCII files), or YYYYMMDD.txt (for UTF-16 files). You set the file name in the settings editor (see ‘File format’ on page 201).

File content The account log file content is based on a text file consisting of a sequence of lines of text. A line of text is an ordered sequence of characters. Records consist of a sequence of fields separated by a field separator character (see ‘File field separator’ on page 201). Each line of text forms a record. The records can be of different types, as indicated by a record type identifier which is the first field in a record.
