Note: When Delayed Output Close is False (Off) for a protocol, job accounting is disabled for that protocol. A printer equipped with a PhaserShare card can store information about jobs printed on the selected printer. The information is stored as a job accounting log file either in the printer's memory or on a hard disk, if one is connected to the printer. This job accounting log contains the name of the user who submitted the job, the file name of the job, and the number of pages.
Note: When Delayed Output Close is False (Off) for a protocol, job accounting is disabled for that protocol.
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.
The printer stores job accounting information for up to 5000 jobs on the hard disk if one is connected to the printer. The printer stores job accounting information for up to 500 jobs if the printer is not equipped with a hard disk.
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.
Note: It is best to access job accounting information only when the printer is idle.
This page allows you to download the job accounting log from the printer. The menu button on the page provides three choices:
Clear. Clears the job summary list stored by the printer.
Download. Downloads the job accounting log file from the printer to your host computer, but preserves the job summary list stored by the printer.
Note: For Phaser 350 printers. Each time the Download and Clear or Download buttons are clicked, the printer performs the requested operation for up to 50 of the oldest records. If more records are stored, the download and clear operations must be repeated. The Clear button clears all of the records.
Note: For Phaser 550 printers and Phaser 340 printers (serial number BCxxxxxx and above). Each time the Download and Clear or Download buttons are clicked, the printer performs the requested operation for up to 25 of the oldest records on a base model printer or 100 records on a plus model. If more records are stored, the download and clear operations must be repeated. The Clear button clears all of the records.
Note: Some fields do not apply to all printers.
