This section explains the Job Accounting Mode set by the client software.
Changing Job Accounting
Mode
Job Accounting Mode is a method of setting
the user name and Job Account ID in the
Windows client computer. There are 4
modes.
Note!
The Job Accounting Mode cannot be
changed in MacOS or Mac OS X.
Memo
Job Accounting Mode settings can only
be configured in a print driver that
supports Print Job Accouting.
Types of Job Accounting
Mode
Tab
The tab for setting the User Name and Job
Account ID to the print driver properties is
displayed.
It is used by the user themselves to set or
change the User Name and Job Account ID.
Popup
A pop-up window for setting the User Name and
Job Account ID to be sent for each print job is
displayed.
It is used when 1 computer is used by multiple
users.
Note!
• Do not select this when using the
Windows XP simple user switching
function.
• Even if printing is performed on the
shared printer client side, the input
window is not displayed. Use the hide
mode for shared printers.
• [Popup] cannot be selected for
Windows 7/Server 2008R2/Vista/
Server 2008.
Hide
Even if printing is performed on the shared
printer client side, the input window is not
displayed. Use the hide mode for shared printers.
The system administrator creates an ID file that
contains the Job Account ID and User Name that
correspond to the Windows login user in advance.
By specifying this file with the client software, the
user that performed the printing is identified, and
the corresponding Job Account ID is automatically
acquired. Furthermore, the same Job Account
ID can be set for all login users. The users do
not need to configure settings or to know their
own Job Account ID. When using the Windows
computer as a print server and the printer as a
shared printer, install and use the client software
onto the computer to be used as a print server.
Not supported
Users identification is not performed, and all
jobs are recognized as unregistered ID. The User
Name is the user name used to login to windows,
and the Job Account ID is 0. Used when user
recognition is not needed.
Note!
When the printer drivers are updated
or reinstalled, the mode returns to
unsupported mode. Therefore, you need
to set the Job Accounting Mode again.
However, when using the function that
sets all printer drivers to the same
mode, it is not necessary to re-set the
mode settings.
