Quick Start - Accounting Tool

Look at the Printer Identification section of the Device Manager Tab to see
which Printer (AccXES Firmware) Version the selected device is using.
For AccXES firmware versions 7.0 and greater, the AccXES Client Tool's
Accounting Tool is disabled. Instead, the AccXES Account Management Tool
(AMT) will be installed on one computer to track the media usage of many
printers. The AMT Administrator will generate the media usage details for all
printed media and scanned images. This is done according to the User ID
and Account ID that you specify at the scanner or when using the Document
Submit Tool. This information is stored temporarily on the Controller's hard
drive. The AMT will retrieve the information from the Controller. You can,
however, see the individual printer's present total number of stored records by
looking on the Web PMT Accounting page, in the Records Count field. If you
are the AMT Administrator, go to the AccXES Account Management Tool
User Guide to learn how to install and use the tool.
Ÿ
For AccXES firmware versions before 7.0, you can use the Accounting
Tab as follows. Go to the printer user interface, or Web PMT, or the
scanner user interface. Set the Accounting Mode to "Enabled" or
"Optional". Selecting Enabled will require that you to enter an account
number every time you print or scan.
Ÿ
Select the AccXES Client Tool's Accounting Tab.
Ÿ
In the Password field, type in a password if it is required on the scanner or
printer.
Ÿ
In the Account ID field, put in the account number for which you want to
retrieve media usage data, such as 3.1, or the account number you put
into the Job Options > Setup tab > Account ID field and in the Document
Retrieve > Account ID field. To retrieve media usage data for all accounts,
use –1 as the account number and put in a password. Use "0" as the
default password.
Ÿ
Select the Query the printer for account data toolbar button.
The media usage, for the account number that you specified, will be
shown on the Accounting window.

To save this data to a file, select the Write the account data to
file toolbar button. On the Account Report screen, Output File field, put
in a directory and folder where you want the file to be saved, followed by a
file name with an .xls extension (to use in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet).

For more practice, and to see how to create a report from the saved media
usage data, see the "Using the Accounting Tool" section of this user
guide.
