Using Printer Management Features

Job Accounting

The printer stores information about print jobs in a log file. The log file is stored either in the printer’s memory or on an optional hard disk if one is installed in the printer. If the log file is stored in the printer’s memory, it is lost when the printer is reset. It is recommended that a hard disk be used for job accounting.

The log file lists job records. Each record contains fields such as user name, job name, pages printed, job times, and toner and ink used. Not all fields are supported by all printers. For information go to CentreWare IS online help or CentreWare Web online help.

The job accounting values reported vary depending on the protocol and print command used when each job was printed. For example, using NPRINT over NetWare provides the printer with the most information about the job being printed. When using Windows and NetWare, the job name is often LST: or LST:BANNER. Other jobs from other ports may provide less information about the job.

Job accounting is available through CentreWare IS and CentreWare Web.

Using CentreWare IS

2.Enter your printer's IP address in the browser’s Address field (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
