Introduction

Accounting System Settings Guide
Introduction
With the increasing popularity of office networks, it has become very common for multiple users to share a single printer or multi-function product. This has made it much easier for users to obtain printouts, but they then faced the problem of increasingly large amounts of printouts. To offset this situation, operation management tools known as accounting systems were created for such purposes as keeping track of total pages printed by each printer user, and settings upper limits on the printed page number totals.
An accounting system manages the number of printed pages separately for each printing account, thus allowing billing management and instructions on reducing the number of printed pages to be handled efficiently. As a result, user awareness of costs and the environment is improved, making it possible to reduce the amount of paper used.
The accounting system is managed using account codes that are set by the administrator for each account.

Chapter 1 Overview of the Accounting System

Accounts or users that may use the printer can be limited by registering account codes in advance. The amount of paper used by each registered account code can be tracked, so it is easy to manage separately billing and the amount of paper used by each account.
An account code must first be registered to the printer in order to operate the system. In addition, an account code is selected to start printing so that the printer can separately store the number of printed pages used by each account.
A printer with a registered account code can only print data from PCs that specify the same account code. For example, as shown in the figure, printers A and B in the sales department are set to account code 100 and can only print data from computers in the sales department that specify account code 100. These computers cannot output data to printers in the planning department since their account code is set as 9999, even though they are connected to the same network. In addition, printers with a set account code cannot print data unless an account code is specified.

Chapter 2 Setting Up the Accounting System

Chapter 2 Setting Up the Accounting System
This chapter describes the accounting system menus and how to set them up.
There are two ways to set up the accounting system.
• Enter settings through the printer operator panel
• Enter settings by inputting the PRESCRIBE commands
Most functions and commands operate the same way on all models. However, some functions and commands are not relevant to certain specific models.
Administration IDs
An administration ID is required to control the accounting system.
An administration ID is a 15-digit number. The default setting is the printer model number followed by a string of zeros (e.g., 602000000000000 for the FS-6020). The administration ID can be changed to any number. (Refer to Change Administration ID on page 11.)
Write down the administration ID and keep it in a safe place so that you do not forget it.
