What
is Job Accounting?
The printer can store information
about jobs printed in a log file. The log
file is stored either in the printer's memory
or on a hard drive, if one is connected to
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 drive be used with this job accounting
feature.
Note: It is best to access
job accounting information only when the printer
is idle.
For all fields in the job accounting log,
the actual 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
even less information about the job.
