What is Print Job Accouting?
Print Job Accouting sets detailed print restrictions on print jobs printed from computers
according to individual users and printers, and acquires and summarizes print job information
in a log.
Special Features of Print Job Accouting
Management of Print Restrictions
• Multiple users and printers can be put together into groups, and settings for allowing and disallowing
printing or color printing for each group can be configured.
• Settings for allowing or disallowing the printing or color printing of the login name, application name,
document name or host name can be configured.
• Upper limits for the number of prints can be set according to user, printer, user group and printer
group.
• Printing costs can be charged according to user and user group. Printing costs can be set according to
such factors as quantity and paper size. Also, different fees can be set for individual printers.

Log Acquisition and Summary
• Information included the printed date and time, user name, quantity and paper size can be acquired
and summarized in the log.
