PRINT JOB ACCOUNTING Introduction Oki Print Job Accounting software, designed specifically for OKI printers, provides job accounting features that allow you to track printer usage, calculate printing costs, and specify user access. Main Features Managing print upper limits • You can set print enabled/disabled or color print enabled/disabled for each printer user or each printer.
Page 454
Adding up print logs • You can add up printed pages and so forth for each printer user. Main items subject to print log are the date, user name, printer name, document name, color/monochrome printed pages, paper size, Simplex/Duplex printing, and so forth.

In this document, this software is referred to as “Server S/W.” 2. Printer Driver for OKI Print Job Accounting This is a printer driver specifically for this System. This printer driver must be used for printing in order for this System to correctly acquire print logs.
Printer Driver.” 3. OKI Print Job Accounting Client This is the software that is used to set up the Job Account Printer Driver. The Job Account Printer Driver will only able to function as a specific printer driver when it has been set up by this software.
Page 457
Setting Account ID on Server PC Start up the Server S/W and register printers. You can set an Account ID for each printer at this time. Even after having registered the printers, you can still add to or change them. Therefore, you need not necessarily set an Account ID for each printer when registering.
Page 458
further details of how to use the Server S/W, please see “Using Server S/W”. Setting Account ID on Client PC Start up the Client S/W first on the Client PC, and then set Job Account Mode. There are four Job Account Modes; Tab, Popup, Hide, and Not Supported.
Page 459
Popup mode In this mode, the dialogue box for entering the User Name and Job Account ID will be displayed every time printing is run. A printer user enters his/her assigned User Name and Account ID to print. Hide mode In this mode, a System administrator creates an ID file that describes the information on all users.
Page 460
This ID file describes the information on each and every user in one line, using the following format. Use the extension “.csv” to save the file. Login User Name,Account ID {,User Name} Login User Name User name entered when logging onto Windows. Account ID Account ID corresponding to the user name.
The server S/W must be run under Windows2000/WindowsXP or NT4.0 (SP5 or later), with the latest Service Packs installed. A connection to the printer which will be managed is also required, this can be a direct connection (USB or Parallel), or a network TCP/IP connection.
Page 462
Client PC Install Instructions Install the Job Account Printer Driver in the Client PC first, and then the Client S/W. The drivers supplied with your C7100/7300/7500/9300/9500 are designed for use with the Job Accounting software and must be used for it to function correctly.
