AUDITING MODE

Auditing mode can be enabled to keep track of the number of pages printed and transmitted (scanned) by each account (up to 500 accounts can be established). The page counts can be viewed and totaled as needed.

<This mode is enabled in the key operator programs separately for the copy, printer, fax, Internet fax, network scanner, document filing functions. (Page 7 of the key operator's guide)>

Using the machine when the auditing mode is enabled

The procedure for making copies when auditing mode has been enabled for the copy function is explained below.

NOTES

When auditing mode is enabled for document filing and fax/image transmission, a message will appear asking you to enter your account number each time you switch to the main screen of one of those functions in the touch panel. Enter your account number in the same way as for copy mode, and then begin the scanning procedure.

When the account counter is turned on for the printer function, you must enter your account number in the setting screen of the printer driver on your computer in order to print.

When the auditing mode is turned on, the right message appears on the touch panel.

ENTER YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER.

When the above screen appears, enter your 5-digit account number and then begin the copying procedure.
