Job Accounting – Submitting jobs
Using the 8825/8830 DDS with Job Accounting
Submitting jobs over the network
When Job Accounting is enabled
from the Printer Control Panel
, the system
examines the incoming job for a valid account number. If none is found, the
job is rejected, and an error page is printed.
Note: the 8825/8830 print drivers and Document Submission Tool (DST)
software all have a feature that allows insertion of a job accounting number.
Refer to the User Guides for these software products for details.
If Job Accounting is optionally enabled from the Printer Control Panel,
remote print jobs will be printed whether they have a valid account number
or not. If a valid account number is present, the job will be charged to the
user account (and subaccount, if present), and also accrued to system
account 0.1 (total system usage). If no account number is present, the job is
charged to system account 0.1 and also to system account 0.3 (jobs with no
account number), just the same as if job accounting were disabled.
Enabling or disabling Job Accounting from the Printer Control Panel
has no
effect
on jobs submitted through the Scanner.
Terminating use under an account
Once a valid job account number has been entered, all use of the 8825/8830
DDS Scanner is charged to that account. All usage continues to accrue to
that account until:
• the user presses the Exit key while either the READY... screen or a fault
screen is displayed.
•
the FEATURE timer times out, due to no activity. The default value is 5
minutes, but this value may be changed. Refer to
FEATURE Timer
in
the
Reference
section for information about changing the value.
When an account is no longer in use, the PLEASE ENTER ACCOUNT...
screen is displayed.
Note: to avoid incorrect accounting, users should always ensure that the
PLEASE ENTER ACCOUNT screen is displayed before leaving the
8825/8830 DDS for the next operator. Press the Exit key to obtain this
screen.
