Job Accounting

NOTE: The JOB ACCOUNTING feature is an optional feature on the Wide Format Copy System, requiring a Feature Key to activate it. If you obtain this feature, the System Administrator can enable it at any time on the Wide Format Copy System by sending a special feature key file to the Printer. Once the feature is enabled, it remains enabled (even following upgrades to the system software). Contact your XEROX sales representative for ordering information.

Overview

JOB ACCOUNTING is a SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION menu option. Access to it is restricted to the system administrator and requires the entry of the system administration password.

The JOB ACCOUNTING option allows Scan System and Printer usage to be recorded in user defined account numbers. Usage is expressed as the area (not the length) of the media scanned or used.

Job Accounting for the Scan System is controlled through the Scan System Control Panel. For the Wide Format Copy System 510 Series, 6204, and 721P, Job Accounting for the Printer can be set from either the Printer Control Panel or the Web-based Print Management Tool. For the Wide Format Copy System 6030/6050/6050A, Job Accounting for the Printer can be set from the Web Printer Management Tool only.

The Web Printer Management Tool consists of special Web pages located in the Controller. They are accessible through either the Microsoft Internet Explorer or the Netscape browsers. Version 4.0 or higher is required for proper results. Other Web browsers are not supported and may or may not work correctly.

Job Accounting can be set on the Scan System or Printer to one of three modes. The modes are ENABLED, OPTIONAL, and DISABLED.

The Scan System and Printer share a common job based accounting database referred to as the FreeFlow Accxes Account Management Tool. This Account Management Tool is composed of two components, an external accounting software package, installed on an Administrative workstation, and the job log file that is created on the Controller. The Account Management Tool creates all accounts, assigns the user IDs, gathers all the account data, manages all the accounts, and provides account reports.

NOTE: For full information on the new job accounting refer to the Account Management Tool help files.
