Job Accounting

allows you to

track print jobs

for accounting purposes by associating the print job with specific account information, including a

username or ID

, an

account code

, and a

department code

. This lets you keep track of how many jobs different users or departments print, and to bill those print jobs to a specific account. In addition, by associating print jobs with specific account information, you can

enforce quotas

on the print jobs that users can submit.

NOTE:

Quotas

can be set on the printer and then associated with a specific account.
