The Features of Accounting Manager

Accounting Manager is a software program that constantly communicates with managed printers to collect job logs. The collected job logs are saved to the hard disk of your computer.

You can use Accounting Manager to do the following actions.

• Print Job Log Collection

  This allows you to check which documents were printed from each printer, who printed them and when.

• Calculation of the Total Pages Used and the Total Cost

  This allows you to use the collected print job logs to calculate totals for items such as the number of pages printed, the amount of paper used and the printing costs incurred.

• Regular Data Acquisition for Print Jobs

  Acquires job logs regularly.

• Exporting Job Logs

  You can export the collected job logs to a file.

Note

• If the computer on which Accounting Manager is installed is not turned on or is in Sleep mode and the user is not logged in, the job logs cannot be collected.

• To acquire job logs without omitting any job logs, it is recommended that you install Accounting Manager on the computer used for management and always log in with the same user name.

  The acquired job log is saved for the user who is logged in.

Important

• Accounting Manager displays estimates for the amount of ink consumed per print and paper consumed. The actual consumption may be different.

  The average error for estimates based on the Canon ink cost measurement conditions is ±15%. Canon cannot guarantee the accuracy of these estimates. These estimates will also vary depending on the conditions of printer use.

  Note also that these estimates do not include ink consumed in procedures such as forced nozzle discharges by the cleaning mechanism.
