Job Accounting

NOTE: The JOB ACCOUNTING feature is included in the Synergix 8830 and 8855 Digital Solutions. It is an optional feature on the Synergix 8825 Digital Solution. If you obtain this feature, the System Administrator can enable it at any time on the Synergix 8825 and 8850 Digital Solution 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 XES 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 Scanner 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 Scanner is controlled through the Scanner Control Panel. For the 8825, 8830 and 8850 Digital Solutions, Job Accounting for the Printer can be set from either the Printer Control Panel or the Web-based Printer Management Tool (PMT). For the 8855 Digital Solution, Job Accounting for the Printer can be set from the Web PMT only.

The Web PMT 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 Scanner or Printer to one of three modes. The modes are:

ENABLED all jobs require a valid account number, OPTIONAL a valid account number is optional for any job

DISABLED jobs do not require an account numberThe Scanner and Printer share a common job based accounting database referred to as the AccXES Account Management Tool. This AccXES Account Management Tool is composed of two components, an external account server and the job log file that is created on the AccXES Controller. The AccXES Account Management Tool external server is maintained by the System Administrator or Accounting Administrator. The AccXES Account Management Tool creates all account, assigns the user ID and their authorizations, gathers all the account data, manages all the accounts, and provides account reports

NOTE: This guide documents Job Accounting from the Scanner Control Panel. For complete information about Job Accounting from the Printer Control Panel, refer to the 8825/8830 Printer Operator Manual. For Job Accounting from the Web PMT, refer to the Web Printer Manager Tool User Guide.
