2. Using Print Job Accounting Client
======================================
2.1 To enable accounting information (User name and ID)
to be sent along with print jobs
------------------------------------
(1) Install the printer driver.
(2) Install Print Job Accounting Client.
(3) After the installation program has finished, the main Print Job Accounting
window will appear.
(4) Select the printer driver you installed in step (1).
(5) Select the Job Accounting mode and click Change.
If you want all printer drivers to use the same mode, select
"Set all drivers to the same mode".
What are Job Accounting "Modes"?
The main window allows you to configure how the Print Job Accounting Client
appears in the printer driver. There are 4 possible "modes" of Print
Job Accounting Client operation:
- Tab mode
- Pop-up mode
- Hide mode
- Not supported
These are described in the section below.
2.1.1 Tab mode
------------------------------------
In Tab mode, the User Name & Job Account ID options appear as another
tab in the printer driver's properties. This is best suited for computers
with a single user as these options can be changed by anyone.
How to enter the User Name & Job Account ID:
(1) Open the Windows Printers folder.
(2) Right-click on the Printer icon and choose Properties.
(3) Click the Job Accounting tab
(4) Enter your User Name and Job Account ID.
(5) Click OK.
(6) Print as normal from your application program.
The User Name & ID information you entered is sent to the printer along
with the print job.
2.1.2 Pop-up mode
------------------------------------
In pop-up mode, the User Name & Job Account ID options appear as a pop-up
dialog for every job that's printed. Use this option when the computer
is shared between many users who don't each have their own login.
How to enter the User Name & Job Account ID:
(1) When you print from your application, the User Name & Job Account ID
dialog will automatically appear.
(2) Enter your User Name and Job Account ID.
(3) Click OK.
The User Name & ID information you entered is sent to the printer along
with the print job.
Note: If you are using the Windows XP user switching mode and a shared printer.
do not use pop-up mode. Use Hide mode instead.
Pop-up mode cannot be selected on Windows Vista/Server 2008.
2.1.3 Hide mode
------------------------------------
Use this option if Windows XP User Switching Mode is being used.
In Hide mode, the User Name & Job Account ID options do not appear to
the end user. Instead, these options are read from a file. The appropriate
User Name & ID is selected based on the user currently logged in to Windows.
How to enter the User Name & Job Account ID:
(1) Create an ID file that describes the User Names and Job Account IDs
for each user. The file should be a CSV (Comma-separated) text file.
Each line should read as follows:
Windows Login user name,Job Account ID,User Name
Example:
JSmith,1234,John Smith
Note that the User Name is optional.
(2) Start the Print Job Accounting Client
Click Start > Programs > Muratec > Print Job Accounting Client > Change Job Accounting Mode
(3) From the Hide Mode menu, select "Import ID File..."
(4) Select the ID file you created in Step 1.
The appropriate User Name and Job Account ID will be selected based on
the currently logged in Windows user.
If you want all users on the PC use the same User Name and Job Account ID:
From the "Hide Mode" menu, select "Set fixed Job Account ID for all users"
If you leave the User Name field blank, the Windows log-in name will be used as
default.
2.2 To stop sending User Name & ID information from the printer driver
------------------------------------
(1) Start the Print Job Accounting Client
Click Start > Programs > Muratec > Print Job Accounting Client > Change Job Accounting Mode
(2) Select the printer driver you wish to change from the list.
(3) Select "Not Supported" and click "Change"
If the mode change is successful, a message will appear telling you that
the mode was changed.
======================================
3. Notes
======================================
(1) If you are using the Windows XP user switching mode and a shared printer,
do not use pop-up mode. Use Hide mode instead.
If pop-up mode is used, the User Name & Job Account ID window will appear on
the screen of the user who logged on first.
(2) If you are using a PostScript driver, when printing from some applications
the user name, Job Account ID or document name may not be recorded. In such
cases, the print job is recorded as having been printed by an unregistered user
(Job Account ID = 0, User name = Blank).
(3) If you are using a PostScript driver and printing duplex, blank pages
on the reverse side of the paper are not counted as pages.
(4) "Set the same mode for all drivers" will be unavailable if you are using
the Windows XP user switching mode and a shared printer. If you wish to use
one of the printers as a shared one, you need to set the mode for each driver
separately.
(5) Pop-up mode cannot be selected on Windows Vista/Server 2008.
(6) Input screen is not displayed when you print from 32-bit application
using PS printer driver set as pop-up mode on Windows XP Professional
x64 Edition/Server 2003 x64 Edition. In this case, Job Accout ID is set
to 0.
