Advanced Reporting Utility (ARU)
Producing a Job Report
The PlotWorks Advanced Reporting Utility (ARU) function is used to generate
job reports. The ARU is an ASCII text log, containing information about each file
printed. The ARU records information like the time a job is printed, the media
used, the name of the client, plus much more. The ARU can be imported into a
spreadsheet or database program where the data can then be compiled to meet the
organizations needs. For example a report can be generated to determine the
average amount of each media used. Invoices can also be created for billing
purposes.

ARU logs are generated by the Printer Interface, the Scanner Interface, and the
Publisher. The Printer Interface records details on each job printed. The Scanner
Interface records information on each job scanned and the Publisher records infor-
mation on each job viewed or sent for print. An ARU report can also be created
for the Output to File function that is available from the Job Editor or Job Queue.
