Overview
The SyncThru™ Admin 5 Job Accounting Plug-in offers basic accounting functionality to reduce waste and costs for
imaging and printing devices. It also provides security functionality and convenience. You can enable Job Accounting
features via SyncThru™ Admin 5, add users, and set a job limit for each user in the office. Before a user is able to use a
device or perform a job, he/she must enter a valid Job Accounting ID and password. Each user must have a valid ID and
password and must be assigned to a specific device(s). After a job is performed, the user's allocation is reduced by the
number of pages used and retained for reporting.
For printing jobs, users need to configure user account IDs and passwords with the printer driver settings that support the
SyncThru™ Admin 5 feature. In other cases, such as scanning, copying or faxing, users need to enter valid IDs and
passwords on the device when starting the jobs.
Therefore, with SyncThru™ Admin 5, you can track all jobs within your imaging and printing environments and prevent
overusing.
If you have installed the SyncThru™ Web Admin Service 4.x Job Accounting Plug-in, you can import database
information to the SyncThru™ Admin 5 Job Accounting Plug-in (See "Compatibility" on page 9).
Benefits of using the SyncThru™ Admin 5 Job Accounting Plug-in
With the SyncThru™ Admin 5 Job Accounting Plug-in, you can track, analyze, and allocate the costs of every document
that any employee sends to any networked device.
With the SyncThru™ Admin 5 Job Accounting Plug-in you can:
• reduce the printing cost of non-business use.
• eliminate unauthorized jobs (printing, copying, scanning and faxing).
• enforce quotas on color output to reduce color printing.
• allocate output costs to users, departments, or clients.
• protect the documents' security and confidentiality.
• analyze exactly what jobs have been performed by the devices.
What's improved?
SyncThru™ Admin 5 has improved Job Accounting features from SyncThru Web Admin Service 4.x.
