NOTE
Accounting requires a license. Contact your local authorized dealer for more information.
To use the accounting function in the printer driver the [Enable accounting] setting in the
[Properties] of the printer driver must be enabled.

XP, for example, you must click Start -> Settings -> Printers and Faxes ->
right-click your printer -> [Properties] -> tab that shows the name of your printer, to enable

job from the [Waiting jobs] section on the operator panel.
