Job Accounting Files - QMS 2060 Reference

Note: If you are connected to a network via TCP/IP, you have a
»
choice of using Crown accounting or the standard TCP/IP accounting
through your UNIX host software. See the TCP/IP Protocol Option
User's Guide for more information on TCP/IP accounting.
As jobs are printed on your QMS printer, the system collects informa-
tion about different job parameters in relation to the jobs. When each
job completes, the printer stores an entry for the job in the Job
Accounting file(s).
Caution: Do not turn the printer off while the disk is being accessed.
Doing so may cause inconsistencies in the information stored.
The Accounting menu includes five submenus, allowing you to enable
or disable job accounting, allocate disk space when accounting is
enabled, reset accounting, store job accounting information in a sin-
gle job file or in multiple files, and transfer the accounting files to your
host.
Job accounting information may be stored in a single file if it can be
retrieved via FTP on your host. Otherwise, the selected job account-
ing file should be spread into several files.
Menu Operator Control/Accounting/Mode
Purpose Enables or disables job accounting
Choices Enabled, Disabled
Default Disabled
Notes You can also enable accounting via Remote Console.
When accounting is disabled, any files containing data remain
untouched. However, empty files are removed to save disk
space.
