XCOUNTER FOR NOVELL USER REFERENCE MANUAL

The XPopup window can be configured to display a custom message for each 
printer. The information typed into the edit window will be displayed inside of the 
XPopup window at the user workstation. 

Note: This option is useful in situations where different displayed information is 
required for each printer. 

 

Each printer has multiple per-page prices that refer to a number of commonly used 
paper sizes. A check box will be seen for each paper size (allow paper size) and a 
price entry field. 

To allow jobs to use a particular paper size, check its corresponding box. 

To associate a cost per page, enter a price to charge for each page that prints with 
that paper size. To track pages printed, and disregard cost totals, leave prices at 
zero. 

If the price value is negative, XCounter will add the number of pages in each print job 
(multiplied by the per-page price) to the user's account balance, otherwise XCounter 
will subtract the number of pages in each print job (multiplied by the per-page price) 
from the user's account balance. 

Any print job using a paper size, which is unchecked, will be deleted, and a broadcast 
message will be sent to the user who submitted the job. This prevents users from 
requesting a paper size not supported or used by a particular printer, such as an A4 
job on a letter sized printer - which would cause the printer to pause.
