The 'Accounting' function allows the operator to specify an account number for a job. This account number is stored in a log file along with other information such as job name and number of scans or prints. Automatic print jobs that appear directly in the job queue and scan jobs are not taken into account. The accounting log file is stored on the controller of the Océ VarioPrint The operator can retrieve the log file from the controller. The operator can open the file, for example, in Microsoft Windows Excel. The Océ VarioPrint 2105 Settings Editor contains an accounting section for the System Administrator (SA). The operator can access a list of accounting log files in this section. The operator can download these accounting log files (.csv, comma separated files). (See Accessing the Accounting Log File) You can use 'Accounting' for example to store print and copy job information for one customer or project under one account number. The accounting log file contains, for example, the number of printed pages, the job name or detailed information about the paper that is used in the job.
