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 disk,
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; therefore, it is recommended that a hard disk 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.
