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 1Overview 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 2Setting 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.
