Printer Job Accounting Tab
Overview
This tab is used to send a command to each defined printer to retrieve a copy of
the job accounting data from its controller's job log file. The data is retrieved into
the AMT Raw Job Accounting Database and remains there until the records are
manually deleted, or until your specified keep interval time limit is reached. After
the retrieval of the data is complete, the AMT sends a delete command to the job
log file to purge the original data. The tallied data is deleted each time that the
AMT retrieves data from the printers' job log files.
There are toolbar buttons on this tab that you can select to view either the Raw
or Tallied Job Accounting Data.

When a toolbar button is selected on this tab to create a tally of the raw data, the
Tallied Job Accounting Database will show the media usage for each
user/account by printer. The tallied data will be a summation of the media square
area field and scan usage records that are currently in the Raw Job Accounting
Database at the time of the tally. If "metric units" is selected on the Job Options
dialog, the raw database units are square mm and become square dm in the
tallied database. If "english units" is selected, the raw database units are square
inches and the tallied data is in square feet. The raw and tallied data can be
written to a file.
